    In more recent kernels (not only SuSE) there are two (2)
    different uhci-Implementations, AFAIR.
    Please try to use "the other one", i.e.:
    boot the system, run a test with card reader and card,
    do a "lsmod" and scan for "usb" and "uhci".

    Then unload the one module and load "the other".

    so short
            MgE, Maintainer of "pcsc-lite" and "scez" on SuSE Linux

    P.S.: ... and don't forget to update the kernels
            according to the recently found security problems!
            (Even that is valid for all Linux Distributions)
