Ludovic,

If libpcsclite.so.1 was installed to /usr, then wpa_supplicant will not
start *at all* if /usr is not available, regardless if smartcard
authentication is used or not. The reason is that the dynamic linker
needs to load all libraries that a binary is linked against in memory at
application load time.

So while you're right that smartcard authentication doesn't work with
/usr separated, the current solution is a better compromise than having
two copies of the wpa_supplicant (one with pcsc support and one without)
or even a statically linked binary IMO.

But YMMV, of course.
