Details a method for using the kernel 26 cm4040_cs driver and card for
reading smart cards.

works fine over here with openct 0.6.9 and opensc 0.11.1 (but opensc version shouldn't matter), and kernel 2.6.18.

The card appears in /sys/bus/pcmcia but no device appears in /dev and no
class is created for the card reader.

some ttyS* device was now suddenly linked to the smart card reader
instead of some virtual device. my laptop has no serial port, but
always 4 serial ports are found / seen in /dev/ and with the pcmcia
card reader one of them is redirected to it.

openct has more info in the QuickStart wiki page, with details.
the udev rule will trigger openct when the reader is plugged in,
and thus we can use it.

but beware: if I remove it, the kernel oopses, so the driver is not
ready for production use from my point of view. need to ask harald
if there is any update on this situation ... :(

Th kernel I am running with is Linux version 2.6.15-26-686
([EMAIL PROTECTED]) (gcc version 4.0.3 (Ubuntu 4.0.3-1ubuntu5))

I guess too old - the cs 4040 driver was improved later. but not
100% sure (or maybe ubuntu did a backport of some driver fixes),
so I would need to check.
