I'm completely new to elementary OS and Linux in general, I've managed to overcome a few issues so far but this one has me stumped, despite googling all manner of solutions.

I believe (from the manufacturers website) that my Asus UX501V has a Realtek card reader. I've downloaded the Linux driver from here:

http://www.realtek.com.tw/Downloads/downloadsView.aspx?Langid=1&PNid=15&PFid=25&Level=4&Conn=3&DownTypeID=3&GetDown=false

I've navigated to the folder rts_pstor and with a right click opened it in terminal. I've then tried a sudo make command but end up with this output:

$ sudo make
[sudo] password for aaron:         
sed "s/RTSX_MK_TIME/`date +%y.%m.%d.%H.%M`/" timestamp.in > timestamp.h
cp -f ./define.release ./define.h
make -C /lib/modules/4.4.0-77-generic/build/ SUBDIRS= modules
make[1]: Entering directory '/usr/src/linux-headers-4.4.0-77-generic'
make[2]: *** No rule to make target 'arch/x86/entry/syscalls/syscall_32.tbl', needed by 'arch/x86/entry/syscalls/../../include/generated/asm/syscalls_32.h'.  Stop.

make[1]: Leaving directory '/usr/src/linux-headers-4.4.0-77-generic'
Makefile:35: recipe for target 'default' failed
make: *** [default] Error 2

Here is the output of "df -h" incase it's useful and "lspci -v". (I saw both asked for in another thread, sorry if that's not helpful).

  • I feel like a complete idiot. It seems there are quite a few variations of my laptop with several different hardware configurations, particularly when it comes to minor things like the memory card reader. I've checked and double checked and found that my laptop actually has an Alcor AU6621 model reader so the realtek driver would have done nothing anyway. Now I feel like a twit! On further inspection that's actually mentioned in the outputs I posted above! I'm still looking for a way to get this working however, so if anyone has any tips I'd appreciate the help.

I'm also facing a similar problem, and after many searches, I found these links: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1270676 and https://github.com/josch09/ampe_stor. This driver claims to support AU6601, AU6621 and AU6625. You can clone this driver and install it to see if it worked. Unfortunately, it does not work for my AU6625 card reader (card detected, capacity ok, but failed to read any data)...
