Works perfectly in a 570 running SuSE 8.2 (Must have ACPI enabled).
Tail your /var/log/messages as you insert it to see what /dev/ it gets 
assigned to.

Once you figure that you can add a line like the following
to /etc/fstab
/dev/hde1            /media/memcard       vfat       noauto,user,sync,exec 0 0
substituting your own device and mount point.
