package pcscd : missing file update-reader.conf ?

[bcostacurta]

Hello,

I'm trying to configure a smart card reader on Ubuntu Natty 11.04.
To do this I installed package pcscd.
But the smart card reader is not recognized at all.

However I have same config on another laptop still using Ubuntu Lucid 10.04 works perfectly as card reader is recognized and activated.

I checked package on both distros and found that 11.04 version do not contain update-reader.conf.

Why such packages differences between 11.09 and 10.04 ?
Where can I find update-reader.conf ?
Is the update-reader.conf mandatory to config pcsc ?

Thanks for attention.
Bye,
Bruno

I'm not sure how well it will work for you, as these steps are for 10.10, but it may be worth a shot.

Hello,

the absence of the update-reader.conf is not related to my previous problem.

Simply the driver of my card reader SCM3310 was missing on my system.
From Internet I downloaded it (via google I found website from where it can be downloaded)

I followed the (very simple) instructions to install it.
Then :

- optionally : check the pcscd daemon is stopped
- /usr/sbin/pcscd --debug --foreground
- plug the card reader

Now the smartcard reader is recognized :
