Hi,

I have 14 CCID readers connected through 2 USB hubs here. It works like a charm with 
the un-modified driver and daemon (standard Debian package libccid 0.9.2-2 and pcscd 
1.2.9-beta6-1).

There are just some race conditions when I unplug and replug the cable between the PC 
and a USB hub (with the 7 readers connected to it) that makes the USB drivers crash. 
After that, I cannot access the readers anymore, even by restarting PCSC. Then I have 
to reboot or to un-load the kernel modules, reload them and restart PCSC for 
recovering my system. I guess it's a kernel problem (home brewed 2.6.7)...

Let's try to sneak in a little feature request regarding the hardcoded limit to 16 
readers... ;-)

Why not having no limit and allocating ressources dynamically? Or at least set it 
through a configuration parameter (only one for the daemon and the readers can get it 
from the daemon at startup)? This is anyoing to re-compile the drivers and PCSC just 
for that, especially when you use pre-compiled packages like me. Some people will tell 
me that it's not common to have more than 16 readers and they are right, but...

Have a nice day.
