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

[Sihan Goi]

Great. Seems like all 3 are supported according to your website.
However, I have previously encountered a case where the card reader
was in the list but couldn't work. I had to install the vendor
specific CCID package for it to work.

Thanks.
