My /proc/bus/usb/devices says:

E:  Ad=83(I) Atr=03(Int.) MxPS=  16 Ivl=32ms

...so I guess this means my only option is signing activcard's NDA to
get their SDK kit, which includes something of a PKSC/pcsc compatible
driver, which probably needs some hacking to get it working?

Or perhaps I could just buy one of the surplus OmniKey/Cherry keyboards
I see on the market? Just how compatible are the various cards with the
various readers?

Any recommendation on getting started? Would it be best to dump the
ActivCard and buy something else? The card I need to read is a CAC, and
I'm using Fedora Core 1 to play with it.

Mostly I'm planning on following the tips I read through at:

http://www.srcf.ucam.org/~rjw57/sc/pcsc_lite/howto/howto.html#toc7

...my goal is to get to the point where I enter my pin and can sign
emails in mozilla.

Thank you for any guidance, as you can see I'm very new at this.
