Problem with pc/sc smartcard reader.

Hello!

I have a problem with Todos Argos Mini 2 USB smartcard reader drivers.

The driver requires glibc 2.4 but Debian don't use that version.

pcscd log from syslog

Code:

This driver on todos.se homepage does't work on Debian GNU/linux PC. Now I tested this driver on Ubuntu 7.10. On Ubuntu pc it's working very well.

I write it here that how i done this on Ubuntu machine. Maybe someone want's to install same card reader.

First look that the card reader is listed in usb.ids.

Code:

root@indrekp:/# lsusb
Bus 003 Device 002: ID 0b0c:0009 Todos Data System AB Todos Argos Mini II Smart Card Reader

Then install the required packages.

Code:

root@indrekp:/# apt-get install libccid libusb-0.1-4 pcscd libpcsclite1 pcsc-tools opensc alien

Now it is time to install drivers.

Code:

root@indrekp:/# cd $HOME
root@indrekp:~# wget http://www.henriknordstrom.net/code/TodosArgosMiniII/agmiiusb-1.0.0-3.i386.rpm
root@indrekp:~# wget http://www.henriknordstrom.net/code/TodosArgosMiniII/agmiiusb-debuginfo-1.0.0-3.i386.rpm
root@indrekp:~# alien -i agmiiusb-1.0.0-3.i386.rpm
root@indrekp:~# alien -i agmiiusb-debuginfo-1.0.0-3.i386.rpm

Update readers and restart pcscd

Code:

root@indrekp:~# update-reader.conf
root@indrekp:~# /etc/init.d/pcscd restart

Check the syslog if the card reader is working.

Code:

root@indrekp:~# grep pcscd /var/log/syslog

it looks like this

And at last insert card in to card reader and:

Code:

root@indrekp:~# pcsc_scan

This is all and well if your running i386-system, but I have the same problem on a 64-bit system. Now what?

Ofcourse it should be "64" in the title and not "63".

Maybe you should use .rpm made for 64-bit Linux on
http://www.henriknordstrom.net/code/TodosArgosMiniII/
e.g. replace wget line for i386 package with x86_64 one.
http://www.henriknordstrom.net/code/...0-4.x86_64.rpm
http://www.henriknordstrom.net/code/...0-2.x86_64.rpm
