John,
I am also using 'pcscd'.

As you suggested, I tried running 'pcscd' from the console. I see that
it results in making
some IOCTL calls  to the SCR24x driver and also see the driver IFD
handler messages.

But, I need to be able to pass some PIN to the 'activcard' which in
turn will generate a key.
I don't know what application I should use on linux/Fedora to do this.
How do you generate keys for your card?

It might be helpful to know what things you had to change w.r.t 'pcscd'.

Thanks,
--Vasu

My setup required pcscd running and using coolkey library through
Firefox for a security device.  I knew it was working correctly when
it would blink when I inserted my card in the reader.  I am not sure
if your's works the same way, but it may.  If you need to use pcscd,
try running it in console and seeing it's output.  I had to adjust
some things to get it working right, based on the output I saw.
