I'm reading through the GnuPG 2.0 manual, in .pdf version, available from

	http://www.gnupg.org/(en)/documentation/manuals.html
	(I really do appreciate page 113 of this .pdf file.)

What I know is that it is an OpenPGP card. I've read

	http://gnupg-pkcs11.sourceforge.net/

and I'm quite positive that it's not using a PKCS#11 interface.

I think that the problem is that no card-reader seems recognized. I'd be
glad if it was only a smartcard protocol problem.

Maybe the following helps:

> gpg-connect-agent: connection to agent established
> ERR 100663576 IPC parameter error <SCD>
> gpg-connect-agent: closing connection to agent

Where do I get details about error codes?

In the manual, it is written:

and I was rather surprised by that: do you still need libpcsclite.so.xxx
to run the builtin ccid driver? Because I removed these file through
aptitude. Because I've got the following complaint:

I'll try to connect directly to scdaemon to see what is happening.

Thanks.

Guillaume.
