Package: pcscd
Version: 1.9.1-1
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

My laptop has a builtin (i.e., impossible to remove or disable) smart
card reader. It connects through USB. Unfortunately, it is broken: it
continuously reports that a card is in the device (even when that is not
the case). When something tries to read from the card, the only way for
me to discover that things failed is in the fact that the read times
out.

Unfortunately my laptop's firmware does not allow me to disable it,
which means I'd have to tell pcscd to ignore the reader; but I can't
find any setting to do so.

Please add an option to blacklist a particular card reader.

Thanks,
