Hi, We'll see what the PCSClite maintainer has to say, but if I were him, I would say that
- pcsc supports READERS, not cards. So if a driver sees your token, then the job of pcsclite is done. Actual smart functionnality of portable objects (be them tokens or cards) is the responsibility of other projects, possibly openSC or others. - a CARD vendor list is not the "business" of pcsclite. Cards that support ISO7816 will work in ISO7816 readers supported by pcsclite. But you need other projects to really use the cards. A nice smart card vendor for small quantities is SmartCardFocus http://www.smartcardfocus.com/ But I don't known which card you want. For both points, you should check OpenSC, as mentioned by the cross post from Martin.
