    Hi,

    Has anybody tried to get an ACR-38 USB smart card reader working with
    the devel/pcsc-lite library under FreeBSD? The vendor, Advanced Card
    Systems, seems to provide a Linux driver with sources, which I could
    probably port without too much hassle (depending on the license and
    such) at http://www.acs.com.hk/downloads_drivers.asp#ACR38, but neither
    that page nor Google nor marc.theaimsgroup.com nor the FreeBSD mailing
    list archives seem to suggest anything being available for FreeBSD.

    The only thing I could find that seems to be somewhat close is the ccid
    project at http://pcsclite.alioth.debian.org/ - yet it says that ACR-38
    support is not quite working and occassionally the communication will
    hang.

    G'luck,
    Peter

I had to translate this sentence into English because I could not read the original Sanskrit.
