Thanks for the hint, Sean! dmesg showed the reader being detected as /dev/sdc,
and inserting a card then mounting /dev/sdc1 gives me access to the card. It
must just be KDE that's not autodetecting it.
In case anyone's interested, you can also mount /dev/sr1 to gain access to the
storage containing the dongle's drivers and setup tools.
