SilverStone FP35B Card Reader on linux

I bought a SilverStone FP35B Card Reader awhile back, but had not used the SD card reader. I had used the USB, firewire, and headphones jacks.

When I did finally get around to trying the SD card-reader it did not seem to work.
I looked on the Google, but did not find anything right away.
I happened to need to boot into Widows XP and it did work with windows, so I went back to the Google.

This time I found that running the following snippet of code would make it work.

echo "scsi add-single-device 4 0 0 0" > /proc/scsi/scsi

I put this in my /etc/rc.local file and now it works.

I used to have a multi-LUN CD player, but it had been quite awhile since I had seen any multi-LUN hardware, and my previous card-reader did not use a multi-LUN scheme.
