vmware workstation is doing something very bad.
When you want to enable the smart card reader you have the message:
" This VM is trying to claim a USB device that is already attached to another
virtual machine (process:27307 /usr/sbin/pcscd). This operation will fail
unless the device is first disconnected from the other VM. "
If you select OK the operation will NOT fail but pcscd (the CCID driver
in fact) will be disoriented. The USB device has been removed from under
its feet.
If you want to avoid this problem you have to use the virtual smart card
reader in workstation.
In my case vmware player proposes 2 smart card readers: "Gemplus USB
SmartCard reader" and "Virtual Gemalto GemPC Twin 00 00". The first
reader is the real USB device. The second reader is in fact the reader
also available through the local PC/SC layer.
Your choices are either:
1. use the Virtual smart card reader in Workstation
2. kill the local pcscd before using the real USB device in Workstation
The problem is not in pcsc-lite. I will not fix this bug.
