Use a usb card reader.

Linux has always had problems directly reading cameras.  Most times a
driver that comes on the camera's software CD needs to be installed. A
driver that does not exist for Linux.

I've shot professionally for years with various makes and models of
digital cameras, Nikon included, and have never had a problem with
mounting/reading the camera's card when using a dedicated card
reader. I only mount a camera when it's required like changing some
custom settings, etc.
