Subject: My SD Card Reader cannot read SDHC cards

I have the following SD Card Reader:

http://support.dell.com/support/edocs/monitors/2405fpw/en/about.htm#Card
Reader Specificatoins

It is identified as the following in lsusb:

Bus 002 Device 007: ID 0424:223a Standard Microsystems Corp. 8-in-1 Card
Reader

I have a LG microSD Card adapter that came with a LG Optimus V and a 4GB
Kingston SDHC microSD card. I also have a 2GB SDSC card that works. When
using the microSD card with the adapter, nothing immediate happens. The
following messages appear in dmesg when I do `fdisk -lu /dev/sde`:

Would someone provide me with a brief description of where the code that
talks to the SD Card reader lives in Linus' tree and how it works? I am
not familiar with this subsystem, so I need some pointers before I can
look into whether or not I can make it work.
