Card state: Card inserted, Unresponsive card,

[pr0xxy]

Hi,

I have been using these tools for almost two years with no issues. Well starting last week I am getting an issue with my card reader "Unresponsive Card". I even tried reinstalling the software packages:

pcsc-lite for Centos 7
pcsc-lite-ccid for Centos 7
perl-pcsc Centos 7
pcsc-tools Centos 7

Here is what I get when I run pcsc_scan:

Any ideas what is happening ?

It looks like your smart card is dead.

But i get that on a brand new SLE4442 card. So what is this shit ?

I took my card to our card department and they had me test it on a random Windows PC with a PIV card reader. Took a couple tries but now it works like nothing was ever wrong...got me. 🤷🏿‍♂️

[dcruveiller]

So you mean just trie with another computer ? and what do you mean by PIV ?

[pr0xxy]

In all honesty I cannot say that was what fixed it. All I know is when it was proven that nothing was wrong with my card I came back and tried it again on my Centos Laptop and presto it started working again.

Ok but how can you trie with a Windows. I mean pcsc work only on Linux

@dcruveiller SLE4442 is NOT a smart card but a memory card. Not all readers can read/write it.

[dcruveiller]

@LudovicRousseau ok but in the product description they said that SLE4442 is compatible with.
