I am new to this mailing list and hope that someone has come across
this information.
I am trying to get the integrated smartcard reader on a Panasonic
CF-29 working under Linux (Fedora Core 15). I cannot get PCSC to
detect the card and can find nothing useful in, e.g. lshw output to
tell me what driver to consider. LPS 1. 2.3 also fails to detect the
integrated reader but a USB reader works fine, so I am reasonably
confident the system is set up correctly. If someone knows what type &
model this reader is and what driver/settings may work, I would
greatly appreciate it. I have spent a good deal of time on Google and
came up empty handed.
The machine is a Toughbook CF-29Fxxx and the card reader is a PCB
installed above the battery bay on the left side (not the
Schlaumberger PCMCIA reader included with some of the later models).
The BIOS had an option for activating the reader and I set it to IRQ
3. I am assuming, therefore, that it is a serial reader of some
variety on COM 2/ttyS1. The internal modem is disabled in the BIOS, so
there should not be a hardware conflict. pcsc_scan comes up with no
devices present and running pcscd in debug mode yields no additional
output, including on card insert or eject. I do not have Windows on
the box and cannot get additional info from the OEM drivers originally
installed.
I am still new to the guts of the Linux ICC management stack, so if I
should be using different software, I am open to that as well. I need
to get the reader working with GDM, gpg, ssh, Evolution and Firefox,
preferably. The USB reader is a bad option on this box since it only
has a single USB port and no integrated WiFi :-)
Sincerely,
Eric Vought
