I have the Gemalto PC Express card and has works excellent with OpenPGP (gnupg, ssh-agent, etc) for many months now. Here is some more info about it: http://pcsclite.alioth.debian.org/ccid/shouldwork.html#0x08E60x34EC http://pcsclite.alioth.debian.org/ccid/#106 Initially I bought another device, the OmniKey 4321: http://pcsclite.alioth.debian.org/ccid/#140 However it does not work well with OpenPGP cards, see this blog about the problem: http://ludovicrousseau.blogspot.com/2010/10/gnupg-v2-card-and-extended-apdu.html /Simon _______________________________________________ Gnupg-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnupg.org/mailman/listinfo/gnupg-users
