memstick - old Memory Sticks not recognized

[Mantas M.]

I have a few Sony Memory Stick cards laying around, and tried to use 
them with my laptop's card reader. Unfortunately, while the reader seems 
to recognize all cards, Linux does not -- only the "Memory Stick Pro" 
series one is recognized as a mountable block device. The other two, 
from the original "Memory Stick" series, are not. (They work fine in a 
camera, however.)

Ideas? Patches?

Linux 3.1.0-09034-g70c9f18.
