According to this document:

http://downloads.dell.com/manuals/all-products/esuprt_laptop/esuprt_inspiron_laptop/inspiron-15-5558-laptop_reference%20guide_en-us.pdf

My computer only has a SD card slot and no MEMSTICK slot.

lsusb says this though:

Bus 001 Device 005: ID 0bda:0129 Realtek Semiconductor Corp. RTS5129
Card Reader Controller

Maybe the driver gets locked up looking for the MEMSTICK slot?
