Hi Greg First and foremost sorry for the long delay.
I was able to isolate this (at least in my very naive point of view) as a driver problem: I have here lying around an older Gemalto USB reader, which is indeed detected without trouble in pcsc_scan, but the actual key I am trying to use - a Nitrokey 3 - isn't, even though, according to pcsc-lite's driver playlist, it should be supported. I tried the same approach in both DragonFly and OpenBSD, which do detect the card - so I am out of ideas :/ Thanks for your help! * Greg Troxel <g...@lexort.com>: > Abu Hussain Al Mukhtar <abuhuss...@secure.mailbox.org> writes: > > > Hi everyone > > > > I am trying to setup an OpenPGP Smartcard.
