Yes, I know why the reader serial number was added. Do you think it is still needed now that the application can get the reader serial number using SCardGetAttrib()? I don't think I will revert the default behavior (include the reader serial number in the PC/SC reader name) because: - the addition is made by pcsc-lite itself - SCardGetAttrib() will only provide the serial number if the driver support this feature. And I know no driver that can do that. Philipp, does the SCM proprietary driver support SCardGetAttrib() to get the reader serial number? bye -- Dr. Ludovic Rousseau _______________________________________________ Muscle mailing list [email protected] http://lists.drizzle.com/mailman/listinfo/muscle
