Subject: Re: Problem with Gemalto USB Shell Token V2

Hi Tiago

I just purchased OpenPGP cards and Gemalto USB Shell Token V2 readers (see 
<https://www.mukund.org/>).  They work perfectly for me.

I'll explain what I use to access them. Maybe you can adapt it to your own use.

1) Start the pcscd service on your distro. This is a daemon that is distributed 
in the PCSC-Lite package.  On Fedora, as root you can run:

service pcscd start && chkconfig pcscd on

2) Add the "disable-ccid" option to gpg.conf. This will make GnuPG use 
PCSC-Lite to access the card, instead of the built-in CCID driver.

This in itself should be enough to get the card working properly. You can do 
gpg --card-status to see the card, gpg --card-edit to edit the card.

I have all this working on my stock Fedora 13 install with the following 
versions of packages:

gnupg-1.4.10-2.fc13.x86_64
pcsc-lite-1.5.5-4.fc13.x86_64
ccid-1.3.11-1.fc13.x86_64

To configure other things such as SSH authentication keys, etc., you will have 
to configure gpg-agent to start during desktop session startup, make 
environment variables available to the shell (man gpg-agent), and also perhaps 
disable some things if you are using GNOME.

Good luck.

                Mukund
