smartcard

Hello,

I've this SmartCard reader:

Bus 002 Device 004: ID 072f:90cc Advanced Card Systems, Ltd ACR38 SmartCard Reader

I've installed the following packages: pcscd, libacr38u, pcsc-tools, and a driver available on this website http://www.bit4id.com/italiano/download/download_file/Linux.zip

the pcscd daemon seems running:

andrea@centurion:~$ ps -e | grep pcsc
 2799 ?        00:00:00 pcscd

when I try to test if the smart card is working, I get no reply:

andrea@centurion:~$ pcsc_scan 
PC/SC device scanner
V 1.4.16 (c) 2001-2009, Ludovic Rousseau <[email protected]>
Compiled with PC/SC lite version: 1.5.3
Scanning present readers...
Waiting for the first reader...

how can I fix this?
