I am new to smart cards, and am trying to use an ActivCard USB Reader
v2.0 with a DoD Common Access Card, on Debian unstable. I have
installed the libccid (0.9.3-1) driver (which claims to support my
reader; the web page even has a nice picture of it) and pcscd
(1.2.9-beta7-5). When I run "pcscd --foreground", it appears to
recognize the card:
pcscdaemon.c:242:main() pcscd set to foreground with debug send to stderr
pcscdaemon.c:446:main() pcsc-lite 1.2.9-beta7 daemon ready.

Also, the light on the reader (with a card inserted) goes from on to
flashing when I start pcscd. I don't know whether this is a good thing,
but it at least means some communication is happening. Is this an
indication of an error? If so, how can I diagnose it?
Nothing else works, and I don't know what to do next. If I run
muscleTool and type "tokens", it returns "No Valid Tokens Found". (When
pcscd is not running, it returns "ERR: ListTokens Failed (0x9C53 Service
is not running)", so I know it is at least talking to pcscd.) xcard
lists one token called "Token Unknown". I installed libmusclepkcs11 and
told firefox about it, and now the "Security Modules and Devices" dialog
has an "ActivCard 00 00" entry, but under Status, it always says "Not
Present".
I have also installed openct, but "openct-control init"
immediately exits (even after I added my Reader's USB id to the list
supported by the ccid driver in openct.conf).
I must admit I've found the documentation on how all the pieces fit
together confusing, so I may have done something wrong. I have also
never tried this reader under Windows or plugged my card into a reader
on another computer, so maybe I'll try that when I get an opportunity.
Thank you for any hints as to what's going on.
Andrew
