Realtek media card reader

[malc]

I have a Realtek media card reader and after much searching and a plethora of completely wrong instructions and/or wrong drivers I got it working.  If you have a similar device it will show up as an "unassigned class device 5289"

Proceed as follows:

* Download the following file (to downloads probably) :

https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/971876/+attachment/2991730/+files/rts_bpp.tar.bz2

* In Dolphin (or equivelent) right click and "Extract > Extract Archive here"
* Open a terminal window
* Navigate to Downloads / rts_bpp
* At the command prompt enter
su root
* Enter root password
* Type the following commands:
make
make install
depmod -a
* To get the driver working instantly type the following or reboot
modprobe rts_bpp

You saved the day with this post , Thank you very much 

I had one day to get the card reader working before my daughter goes back to uni and I have been searching for an answer for this all night !.
It's for this laptop http://www.pclinuxos.com/forum/index.php/topic,110989.0.html

Note I installed 'Ark' from synaptic and extracted the 'Tar' file with that then followed your post and re-booted and it works
