Notes:

• Other systems are not tested yet.

Notes:

• If your have a builtin USB card reader that works out of box but does not show up in System Information, you may try the other Lilu plugin GenericCardReaderFriend. In other words, your card reader is powered by neither AppleUSBCardReader.kext nor RealtekCardReader.kext.
