Reading the discussion, I want to clarify the original problem and needed help:
Primary problem: HAL recognizes Smart Card readers as unknown USB devices Proposal to fix: - Add a keyword for info.category (one word for device is permitted) to describe the device (other devices use for example 'sound', 'storage', 'scanner', 'biometic.fingerprint_reader' etc.) - Define keywords for info.capabilities (arbitrary number of words is possible for a single device (other devices use for example 'serial', 'input.keypad', 'block', 'camera'). Dot notation is often used to keep keywords unique. (more exact description => more chances for user software) Before proposing keywords, see http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=19663 We want to ensure, that these keywords don't conflict with other devices. - More is possible. For example, we can define keyword info.pcsc.driver. Needed help: Propose a smart set of keyword set to cover all Smart Card applications and related area (non-smart chip cards). Should we use keywords like 'smart_card_reader' or only 'card_reader' or even syntax like 'reader.card.iso', 'reader.card.sim', 'reader.smart_token'. What about memory card readers capable to read SIM etc. Secondary problem: Primary problem makes impossible to define Smart Card policy to PolicyKit. -- Best Regards / S pozdravem, Stanislav Brabec software developer --------------------------------------------------------------------- SUSE LINUX, s. r. o. e-mail: [email protected] Lihovarská 1060/12 tel: +420 284 028 966, +49 911 740538747 190 00 Praha 9 fax: +420 284 028 951 Czech Republic http://www.suse.cz/ _______________________________________________ opensc-devel mailing list [email protected] http://www.opensc-project.org/mailman/listinfo/opensc-devel
