I see. In that case if with the card initialised and unlocked it still cannot |

scan, I fear that the problem is with the driver/firmware. |

Although it won't solve the problem at hand you can boot with a previous |

kernel (from the time when it all worked fine) to prove that this is the case. |

You can also try later kernels to see if it has been fixed. |
