MBP retina won't recognize Lexar USB 3.0 reader. Any ideas why?

USB ports mount regular USB devices on MBP Retina but will not recognize cards/reader. Card reder is a Lexar Professional USB 3.0 Dual Slot Reader Reader. Any idea why it is not recognized?

thanks

There are reported problems with the USB 3 ports on the new MacBook Pros. Some do not work with USB 3 devices at all, some work with only USB 2 speeds. I imagine that a firmware update will be necessary to fix the problem.


Sorry,


Clinton
