Right, you don't need to compile a whole new kernel, just need to alter
the usb-storage module a bit.
Do this and see if you can't identify the proper option that will
support your reader. If all options are checked or after selecting them
all and recompiling the usb-storarge module it still doesn't work, I
would guess you might want to look into another card reader.
cd /usr/src/linux
make menuconfig
Then look for
USB Support ---> (scroll down to USB support and hit enter)
<M> USB Mass Storage support (make sure this is selected
as a module)

Hit ESC a few times (or exit) and say yes to save.
Then do 'make modules && make modules_install'.
Issue '/sbin/rmmod usb-storage' then '/sbin/modprobe usb-storage'.
