Hi,

I am in the same situation as you. I got a cheap serial smart card reader,
which simply receives ISO 7816 through the serial port. Looking at the
available drivers, I thought the Delarue driver looked close enough, but it
wasn't available in the driver package in the debian repositories. I tried
compiling it, but it was obviously outdated (the date for the last
modification dates from 10 years ago) and it did not seem to fit the actual
library at all. With modifications I could get it to compile, but I doubt it
would work because the library seems to have change too much in the last 10
years. I think maybe it would be the time to write a generic serial smart
card reader driver, but we need someone who has the time and skills to do
it.
