I purchased a *brand new* SCR335 smart card reader and tried to use it with pcsc-lite 1.5.5 and got this error message:
ccid_usb.c:859:ccid_check_firmware() Firmware (2.04) is bogus! Upgrade the reader firmware or get a new reader. Since I had bought the reader that very day, I felt disinclined to try the second option, so I tried to upgrade the firmware. After a good deal of grief, I emailed the manufacturor's support address. They gave me 2 pertinent peices of information which affect this message. Firstly they told me that the reader's firmware is in ROM and cannot be upgraded. Regarding this error message in particular, they said: "This is what seems to be a shot from the hip from pcscd. It's correct, the older V1 SCR3xxx readers had firmware versions of 5.nn plus. But, that does not automatically mean, that a new reader (a successor, actually) with a lower firmware version has got a bogus firmware version." In view of this, perhaps this message should be changed.
