Ah, I see, thanks. What is the problem with the Oz776 reader? You said in 381689 that: In the present case the reader will not work with some command lengths. If none of the problematic commands are used you will not see any problem. Do you have an example of a problematic command? Right now, for me, to only problem I have is with the logging, but I haven't used the reader except for simple commands such as signing. You also said: I may have a patch to correct the bug somewhere so a new firmware may not be needed. I will close the bug when a new driver correcting the bug is available. This approach would be quite nice. Recent Dell laptops come with this card reader, so improving the support of it may affect a lot of potential users. /Simon
