Well, the title seems indicating I'm a lazy guy but it's not the truth... I'm messing with this weird circumstance a whole day.

My laptop is a Dell Latitude D630 which has a Oz776 (usb idVendor == 0x0b97, idProduct == 0x7772) smartcard reader, but I'm not sure if it is functioning well. It can successfully recognize my Gemplus GPK4000 smartcard and my SIM card, but not SLE5528.

This is my pcscd log when insert the GPK4000:

29016873 eventhandler.c:361:EHStatusHandlerThread() Card Removed From O2 Micro Oz776 00 00

This is the log when insert a SLE5528 card:

00000048 -> 000000 62 00 00 00 00 00 11 01 00 00

** Then it chokes here, when I remove the card, the log continues **

04741980 <- 000000 80 00 00 00 00 00 11 42 FE 00

00402818 eventhandler.c:361:EHStatusHandlerThread() Card Removed From O2 Micro Oz776 00 00

I found that SLE5528 is ISO7816 compatible, and it should have ATR, but it just chokes at the PowerUp.

When inserted any PVC card with no chip or AT24C01 card, it would not choke but report immediate PowerUp failure.

When I tried it on Windows(Windows 7, "runas other user", smartcard login), it chokes too while PVC cards and AT24C01 report immediate failure.
