[Muscle] Re: problems with dell smart card reader keyboard

Thu Jun 4 08:18:06 PDT 2009

I answer myself:

I was using the ubuntu packages from the repositories.

I have tried to compile and install from the code at
https://alioth.debian.org/frs/?group_id=30105, and the reader is now
properly working.
