[Muscle] Expresscard vs PCMCIA smart card reader support in Linux

[Sihan Goi]

Hi,

Are there any differences between Linux support for older PCMCIA
readers vs the newer Expresscard readers? I was trying to get an older
SCR243 PCMCIA reader to work on kernel 2.6 but was unsuccessful. I'm
not familiar with Expresscard but it seems that all the 3
Expresscard/54 readers that I've found support both the USB interface
as well as being CCID compliant, so does that mean that as long as I
have ccid and pcsc-lite installed in Linux it will automatically work?

Thanks.
