-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA512 It's not just the ordering of readers that is the issue. I ran across this problem just now:
https://paulphilippov.com/articles/how-to-fix-device-not-accepting-address-error ... so plugged the ACS reader into a docking station port, thinking it would be able to supply more power. The ACS reader started working again, but even though it is still the first reader in the list, gpg2 can't talk to it: dmesg output: [34471.749264] usb 2-1.4: new full-speed USB device number 22 using ehci-pci [34471.821260] usb 2-1.4: device descriptor read/64, error -32 [34471.997172] usb 2-1.4: device descriptor read/64, error -32 [34472.173381] usb 2-1.4: new full-speed USB device number 23 using ehci-pci [34472.245303] usb 2-1.4: device descriptor read/64, error -32 [34472.421236] usb 2-1.4: device descriptor read/64, error -32 [34472.597175] usb 2-1.4: new full-speed USB device number 24 using ehci-pci [34473.002996] usb 2-1.4: device not accepting address 24, error -32 [34473.077029] usb 2-1.4: new full-speed USB device number 25 using ehci-pci [34473.482909] usb 2-1.4: device not accepting address 25, error -32 [34473.484910] usb 2-1-port4: unable to enumerate USB device [34765.026312] usb 1-1.1.2: new full-speed USB device number 9 using ehci-pci [34765.121888] usb 1-1.1.2: New USB device found, idVendor=072f, idProduct=90cc [34765.121898] usb 1-1.1.2: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=0 [34765.121903] usb 1-1.1.2: Product: CCID USB Reader [34765.121907] usb 1-1.1.2: Manufacturer: ACS agallagher@itchy:~$ opensc-tool -l # Detected readers (pcsc) Nr.

This basically screws my intended use of this PGP card. - -- Andrew Gallagher Internetworking and Security Engineer, Ward Solutions Ltd.
