Bob is quite correct, there is no open source SD support in Linux at this
stage. Unless your multi-reader device has some sort of translation layer
you're stuck. There are a couple of devices that support SD but only
through binary modules at present. As Bob rightly points out, the SD
Association are yet to release specifications in a form that will allow an
Open driver.
Where you may have better luck is with gphoto - it seems to support the
IXUS V2

I use the command line tools with a little script Tridge put together,
seems to work a treat. Transfer over USB with a 2.4.20 kernel is very
quick indeed.
The GUI app, at least last time I tried it was marginal at best. If the
script is of interest give Tridge or I a shout (probably me as I receive
somewhat less mail than Tridge... :)
Cheers,
Hugh
