CardReader

[Solour]

Hi,

I got a card reader (SCR331) with a cdrom with drivers.
Actually there is a rpm file for "Linux"; yet, I do not know how to use it.
Unfortunately I could not find anything using "scr331", "cardreader" via emerge -S.
Google did not help either.

If anybody has an idea what to do with the cardreader, pleeease tell me.

Thank you very much for reading this.
Bye

ps:
There is a how-to from 2005 which does not help me completely:
http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-39 ... cr331.html
I have installed

Code: Select all

virtual/libusb-0
sys-apps/pcsc-lite-1.5.3
app-crypt/ccid-1.3.10
dev-libs/opensc-0.11.8

I modified my opensc.conf (according to the snipped from the how-to).
I run

Code: Select all

pcscd -a -f
00000000 commands.c:203:CmdPowerOn Card absent or mute
00000020 ifdhandler.c:1055:IFDHPowerICC() PowerUp failed
00000867 eventhandler.c:443:EHStatusHandlerThread() Error powering up card.

An the output occurs when I insert my chip-card.
The log says

Code: Select all

cat opensc-errors.log
[opensc-tool] ctx.c:346:load_dynamic_driver: Module pcsc: cannot load pcsc library: pcsc: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

I wrote a guide for this here:

Very nice.
I installed

Code: Select all

sys-apps/pcsc-lite  USE="hal -static -usb"
app-crypt/coolkey  USE="-debug"
app-crypt/ccid  USE="-nousb -twinserial"

but

Code: Select all

pcscd -d -f

gives me (when inserting my card)

Code: Select all

00000112 winscard_msg_srv.c:317:SHMProcessEventsContext() command CONNECT received by client 7
00000008 winscard.c:303:SCardConnect() Attempting Connect to SCM SCR 331 (42220710222081) 00 00 using protocol: 1
00000007 prothandler.c:107:PHSetProtocol() Protocol T=0 requested but unsupported by the card

This seems to be not alright.

Can you help me?

Emerge pcsc-tools, which has much better debug functionality. The homepage is here:

http://ludovic.rousseau.free.fr/softwares/pcsc-tools/

The tools included should tell you whether or not everything is alright.

By emerging pcsc-tools the above message no longer appears.

pcsc_scan gives me:

This seems to be ok to me...

Still, in firefox the cryptography modul has status "not present" (even after sccessfull loading).
Is there possibly another check/tool/cmd to see the "valid keys"?

[aricart]

I'm not sure about that. My knowledge of smart cards is pretty limited. For instance, it could be that libcoolkeypk11.so is not the right security module for your card. Check the various Coolkey websites for further information.
