Well, I followed the following howto:

http://www.fsfe.org/en/fellows/tyrael/fsfe_card_complete_how_to_ubuntu_feisty

and it now works fine. Quite stable.

A few comments on the howto:

  - This howto is not really the first thing that pops up when you
search for things on the smartcard, unfortunately.

  - poldi's documentation is rather hard to find on the web. For now, I
found it only in the source of the poldi, and in the the source itself
was not that easy to find. It's here:

	ftp://ftp.gnupg.org/gcrypt/alpha/poldi/

  - in gpg-agent.conf, the line write-env-file
/home/tyrael/.gpg-agent-info may perhaps work on Ubuntu, but on my
Debian distribution, with a rather standard setup, this file looks more
like ~/.gnupg/.gpg-agent-info-<hostname>.

  - there's a confusion between the documentation of poldi and the
output of gpg --card-status concerning the expressions "serial number"
and "application ID". The wording should be consistent in order to avoid
confusion.

Glad to have it working and stable,

Guillaume Yziquel.
