=== Notes ===
==== TI card reader ====
'''Fix''' on Edgy:
{{{
sudo gedit /etc/modules
}}}
Add these lines:
{{{
tifm_core
tifm_7xx1
tifm_sd}}}

==== Soundcard ====

sometimes you boot and it won't have any sound at all until the next boot (might take a few to bring it back)
Sound works fine on Feisty

'''Fix''' (or workaround) which works on Edgy (someone please test on Dapper)
{{{
sudo gedit /etc/modules
}}}
Add this:
{{{
options snd-hda-intel model=m2-2
}}}
