More luck for me:

#dmesg
umass0 at uhub3 port 3 configuration 1 interface 0
umass0: Silicon Motion, Inc. Generic USB2.0 card, rev 2.00/1.00, addr 2
umass0: using SCSI over Bulk-Only
scsibus0 at umass0: 2 targets, 1 lun per target
sd0 at scsibus0 target 0 lun 0: <Generic, USB  SD Reader, 1.00> disk
removable
sd0: 7932 MB, 2014 cyl, 128 head, 63 sec, 512 bytes/sect x 16244736
sectors

Though it shows 'Silicon Motion' its made by Kingston. Such one:
