ACS-38 SmartCard reader

[Peter Pentchev]

Hi,

Has anybody tried to get an ACR-38 USB smart card reader working with
the devel/pcsc-lite library under FreeBSD?  The vendor, Advanced Card
Systems, seems to provide a Linux driver with sources, which I could
probably port without too much hassle (depending on the license and
such) at http://www.acs.com.hk/downloads_drivers.asp#ACR38, but neither
that page nor Google nor marc.theaimsgroup.com nor the FreeBSD mailing
list archives seem to suggest anything being available for FreeBSD.

The only thing I could find that seems to be somewhat close is the ccid
project at http://pcsclite.alioth.debian.org/ - yet it says that ACR-38
support is not quite working and occassionally the communication will
hang.

G'luck,
Peter
