Hello all, Le dimanche 25 mai 2003 � 15:04:51, [EMAIL PROTECTED] a �crit: > We would have wished a solution containing reader CCID, but there is no free drivers.
And you know what you have to do to get a free software CCID driver: - do it yourself or - pay someone for the work. As I already said to you I volunteer for that. I know we have a serious problem with the CCID driver. And it will become even more serious in the future. > Does somebody have a fast and practical solution to support several readers USB? pcsc-lite [1] already supports several identical readers (USB or serial). The ifd-gempc driver [2] also supports multiple readers. If I connect two GemPC430 (USB readers) I have: $ pcsc_scan PC/SC device scanner V 1.2.5 (c) 2001-2002, Ludovic Rousseau <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> PC/SC lite version: 1.1.2 Scanning present readers 0: GemPC430 0 0 1: GemPC430 1 0 > I have really the felling through research carried out for setting up this project > that there must be an important discussion to have on the drivers licence and > support for linux on the compagnies distributing the smart card readers. Maybe the problems come from the fact that the drivers are (often) not developped and supported by the company producing the reader but by volunteers who want to use the hardware they have. > I have also the feeling that the support of several identical readers on the same > host is a frequent request. Maybe it is a frequent request but it is already working. So I don't know what else I can do. Maybe you can point me to a (pcsc-lite) documentation stating that _only one_ reader is supported. I should then update this documentation. > I thank all the volunteers who develop free drivers. Thank you. I wish you will find a satisfactory solution for your project.
