Ideally, that should happen.

No, my camera only has a slow serial interface, but uses
removable SmartMedia flash cards, so I can remove a card
and stick it in the SmartMedia reader for fast transfer.

But like I said, unfortunately the current UsbStorage 
driver doesn't recognize my reader.  I haven't checked
yet if Linux supports it, but if it does, it shouldn't
be too difficult to extend the driver.
