   Is there any reason why this driver wouldn't work with a GemPC 430 USB in 
SuSE 7.3 with kernel 2.4.14?  I have not been able to get it to work since I 
upgraded the OS.  It still works fine on my laptop though, also running pcsc 
and the same driver (but Mandrake 8.1, kernel 2.4.8), with the exact same 
configuration file, and I can't get it to consistently see the reader or read 
cards.  Often it doesn't even recognize cards (including blank ones) when I 
plug them in.  The LED just continues to blink.

   Any ideas?
