I already prepared something: gna.org/projects/o2scr :-> (I picked them as they have nicer support IMHO) I hope you don't mind. Just create an account at gna and join the club of maintainers, I will add you ASAP! > > I think the idea is to get it merged as soon as possible in the kernel, > which should be quite feasible with all the work you have done :-) I'm afraid it's not that easy. The driver is still in bad shape, just try to use it with libchipcard (I tried to read my medical cards). The internal design is a big mess, and I also think a lot of code can be moved to user land (raw protocol handling e.g.). Just look how libtowitoko is structured. > > BTW, Ludovic, this driver is separated into one part in the kernelland > and one in userland as a pcsc library.

There are _far_ too many chipcard middlewares around, leaving me "slightly" confused. It seems that some play with others, but none is a full replacement of the others. Jan
