[Muscle] PCMCIA card reader support

[Serge Koganovitsch]

Hi,

Concerning the  Cardman 4040:

In 2006 the CCID driver did not support it but there was a workaround using
OpenCT:

These are the steps for Debian: 




* aptitude install openct

 => this will also start the openct daemon



* /sbin/cardctl ident

  Socket 0:

    product info: "ACR", "91"

    manfid: 0x0223, 0x0200 ==> remember these values for the following step



  note: the ACR 91 is a Cardman 4040 sold by ACS



* /etc/hotplug/usb/openct.usermap

 add the following line:



               -------------

 openct 0x0003 0x0223 0x0200 0x0000 0x0000 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00 0x00
0x00000000

               -------------



* /etc/openct.conf : uncomment reader cm4040 { .. } lines



* openct-tool list should display the following:

 0 CCID Compatible



* /etc/reader.conf.d/openct: uncomment all the lines

  

* update-reader.conf



* /etc/init.d/pcscd restart

  

Now all your PC/SC applications can use this reader ("OpenCT 0 0") !



Best regards,



Serge

Hi,

I have in my possession 2 PCMCIA card readers - an Omnikey Cardman 
4040 and a Gemplus GemPC Card. I'm not sure if either are CCID 
compliant, though Gemalto's driver download website seems to list CCID 
rpm drivers for the reader. I've also seen 1 other person on the 
MUSCLE list claim that the GemPC Card was CCID compliant, though he 
didn't get it working nor did anyone reply to his post. As for the 
Omnikey, I totally could not find any information about its support in 
Linux other than the driver page. Neither are listed in the supported 
reader webpage.

So my question is are either of these card readers CCID compliant, and 
if not what needs to be done to support its use with pcsc-lite in 
Linux? My impression is that the processed is very involved and kernel 
dependent? I am quite a Linux newbie so the task sounds daunting.
