ok, and? any solution?
If the device have a working Linux driver, the smart card API might
need implementation under Wine in order for Windows programs to use
it... It might be a good idea to open a bug for it (after ensuring
that no bugs exist for it yet) If you are trying to install drivers
under Wine in order to use the hardware with Linux applications, you
are out of luck.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb905527.aspx might be relevant...
Opening a bug won't mean that it will be fixed immediately, but it
allows Wine developers to see what is affected (via AppDB links) and
to prioritize it properly...
If your application uses non-standard drivers and APIs, the USB
patches for Wine might be your only option. Search the wiki for more
information.
Gert:
I have to use a Smart Card reader at my workplace. I plugged in a
generic card reader and it needed usbccid.sys to run. It may be
possible that there is a Linux (generic) driver for this type of card
reader (this is like the reader that AmEx used to distribute with the
Blue Card.) Dell keyboards also come with an embedded reader and there
is NO Linux driver available from Dell for them.
Now, these things have to work under Linux, we use them.....
