Hi, Good news, I have a partially implemented plugin for pcsc-lite that uses libusb to detect USB smartcard readers when inserted. In fact it searches the Info.plist which will be provided with USB drivers for information so everything is automatic. I wrote a quick XML parser to parse Core Foundation bundles which are used on OS X - so you can distribute 1 package for both Linux, Solaris, and OS X (once these new Sun boxes with USB come available) If you already have an OS X driver you will only need to place a library in your /reader.bundle/Contents/Linux directory of your driver. USB scanning should be working soon and I'll keep you up to date with the drivers.
