Hi Werner, thanks for your reply. I was under the impression the OmniKey 3121 is a real reader since it is on the how to [1].
What would be a good alternative bevore I buy another bad one. And I have problems understanding how the issue is connected to the key length. The Problem as I see it from user perspective: Everything works fine with my 4096 RSA keys (agent, Card access, en/decryption/authentication) until I pull the card. When I insert it it again pcscd knows of it but the agent somehow does not "retry". I kill the agent (which also kills the scdaemon ) and then everything is fine again. Seems unrelated to key length since the general access does not work. I'm happy to provide some logs. best regards Dirk p.s. in the meantime a made a script which tails the scdaemon.log and waits for "Removal of a card:" and then kills the gpg-agent. Not a proper solution - but working so far. [1] https://www.gnupg.org/howtos/card-howto/en/ch02s02.html > Omnikey readers simply don't work correctly with 2k keys or larger.
