Hello, I was wondering if I might bother you with a question which relates to smart cards on Linux, but probably just as much to understanding Linux. I have recently taken on the task of porting a test program which calls pcsc to Linux (using the pcsc lite 0.7.1 implementation). I am quite new to Linux and I have not yet grasped how external devices, like smart card readers, are recognized by Linux. I have ordered a book on Linux programming, but surface mail is ever so slow... * I have compiled and linked PCSC-lite and the Gemplus driver library. * My smart card reader is connected via the serial port. * I have a test program which uses pcsc, but so far I have not been able to get any useful response. * I am using Corel Linux (and it should detect my reader on startup, right?) I would like to use SCardListReaders() successfully, and I was wondering: What are the prerequisites of calling pcsc on Linux to be able to get a sensible response? How can I be sure pcsc knows that my Gemplus reader is there? Do I need any other downloads or change any settings?
