Well, then the document "How to use the Fellowship Smartcard - The GnuPG
Smartcard HOWTO" from March 5th, 2005 needs to be corrected. Quote:
SCM Microsystems SPR532
This is a USB (CCID)/serial reader with a numerical keypad and three
extra buttons. The pinpad may be used to securely enter the PIN
without using the attached computer. Only USB has been tested.
Anyway, does this lack of pinpad support apply to *any* driver or only
to the internal CCID one?
