Well, it is not empty anymore, I've initialized it using SafeSign on Windows.
However, I've tried the card under opensc both before and after
initialization, without success.

The above was in my openct.conf by default, and this is the correct
information. lsusb says:
Bus 002 Device 097: ID 073d:0005 Eutron S.p.a. Crypto Token
# openct-tool -v
OpenCT 0.6.6
# openct-tool list
0 Eutron CryptoIdendity IT-SEC
OpenCT sees it. Where does the string come from by the way? It has a typo.
If this string is inside OpenCT, it should probably be changed to:
"Eutron CryptoIdentity ITSEC-P/FIPS"
If the string comes from the card itself... oops. :)
Now for the bad:
# openct-tool -d -d atr
Detected Eutron CryptoIdendity IT-SEC
Card present, status changed
failed to reset card
The orange LED goes on as soon as I run this command.
The card definitely works. I can operate it through Windows inside of VMware
on the same machine, so I'm pretty sure this isn't a hardware problem.

Ok, I was greatly confused by how opensc was presented then. I thought it was
an abstraction layer with 3 possible backends (openct, pc/sc, pkcs#15). But
in reality, pkcs#15 is not a backend. Rather, it exists in the abstraction
layer, above either openct or pc/sc, correct? This also means that having at
least openct or pc/sc is absolutely required to use opensc?
Will we ever see a hardware standard? It would be great if someday USB smart
cards could be used "driverless" just like USB mass storage.
