Hi list,

I'm desperately trying to get a serial card reader running with pcsc.
The reader is a internal 3.5" serial device from a chinese manufacturer
(the name starts with "Sure-6A", I can't read the remaining chinese 
symbols).

Before demanding a vendor specific driver I managed to recognize 
the drive with the SCM SCR-110 driver. But there is a problem with both 
drivers: the system can't find an inserted card. 

The pcsc-tools and pcscd are from debian unstable. If the following
debugging information isn't enough please tell me what could help.
The versions from testing had the same behavior.

That's the output from pcscd while starting pcsc_scan (with the vendor
driver):

# pcscd -d stdout

         Card state: Card removed,

Doesn't change anything inserting or removing a card.

# bundleTool
Select the appropriate token driver:
------------------------------------
  1.     mscMuscleCard.bundle
  ------------------------------------
  Enter the number: 1

  Insert your token in: FT CARD 00 00

Doesn't react too.

/etc/reader.conf:

FRIENDLYNAME            "FT CARD"
DEVICENAME              /dev/null
LIBPATH                 /usr/local/lib/libftcard.so
CHANNELID               0x100000001

The driver seems a bit weird, it loads a module ftcard.o and behaves
like an USB device. Perhaps is someone knowing a better driver for
the reader.

Does someone have an idea what I'm doing wrong?

Regards,
Martin Oehler
