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.
