Hi,

It's neither a hardware problem nor a "early USB support" problem.
Seems more like a missconfiguration problem.

If you use USB you don't need /etc/reader.conf. This may be why PCSC is
triyin to load two readers: the one that it detects connected to the
USB bus and the one that you have defined in the config file.

My advice is, remove /etc/reader.conf, compile the driver to
auto-install the USB bundle files under /usr/local/pcsc/drivers by
providing the following config options:

$ ./configure --enable-usb --with-pcsc-lite-dir=/usr/local/pcsc (or
wherever you have installed pcsc-lite).

Do 'make' and as root 'make install'. If your USB subsystem is ok (you
have the PL2303 module, compiled and loaded manually or by hotplug) the
  towitoko driver will see a serial port at /dev/ttyUSB0.

(For information on how to get usb-serial bridge working please see
http://www.linux-usb.org.)

PCSC will load an see the reader at /dev/ttyUSB0 as "Towitoko Chipdrive
USB 0 0". Any PCSC app will need to be provided this name in order to
locate the reader.

To access this serial port from towitoko 'tester' or from any other
CT-API application (like 'smartcard') you will need to provide port
number starting with 0x8000 (decimal 32768). Or better, you can do a
symlinc like the following:

# ln -s /dev/ttyUSB0 /dev/ttyS5.

So that you see the USB serial port with the Chipdrive at COM6 (port
number 5).

You can also use the Debian packages in 'unstable' and all of this will
be made by you.

Hope it helps,
Carlos.
