I'm trying to use a smart card reader, without any luck. I've installed
pcscd and whatever else yum pilled in and have 2 new services running

device. I'm stuck.
Any clues appreciated.
Thanks,
John

Some folks have had luck upgrading the firmware on SOME instances of that

If it works then you now have a reader that acts like a

if it don't work I suspect you have a very light paperweight at the end, and
then again, that is pretty much what you got now.
Before buying later I would suggest looking more at the pcsclite lists:
