Hello Ludovic,

Hi,

Just a few more thoughts...
1. If you now integrate pcscd into udev, can you check out the option
running pcscd as none root account?

I don't understand the problem.

2. What is the modification required from serial driver to use the
hotplug? I guess it something with IFDHGetCapabilities(), but how do
you inform the driver when a reader is found? Will the
--force-reader-polling notify the serial driver to force polling?

You do not need to change anything in the driver.
"Serial hotplug" is supported since pcsc-lite 1.2.9-beta8 (6 sept 2005).
You just need to call "pcscd --hotplug" to ask pcscd to rescan the
readers configured in /etc/readers.conf

The problem is how to know a serial reader has been connected or
removed. I have no answer except for the GemPC Card [1] which is a
PCMCIA reader but includes a GemPC Twin serial behind a PCMCIA/serial
bridge. And PCMCIA events are managed by udev.

I do not know if udev supports a serial hotplug mechanism. I don't think so.

Bye
