Further, to the previous question, which distribution are you currently using ? There is a locking issue in Fedora with pcscd. I have not had time to dig deeper yet, but libvirt and some other binaries appear to be blocking the card. Temporary fix is to add a sudo line to restart pcscd or to disable the affected binaries, which might not be desirable. I will be looking into this further soon, just have some other work and also travel for work approaching, so I have not had much time yet.
