Make sure your computer is "clean" and not connected to any network.
*Copy* your backup secret keyring onto your computer. Refer back to
the howto; there is a section near the end called "Transfering the
subkeys to a new card," which contains some caveats and points you
back to the section "Move the subkeys to the card" to repeat the whole
procedure from there onwards. I don't know if there are any subtle
differences due to using the new crypto stick instead of the old
openpgp card.

The man who really wants to do something finds a way,
the other finds an excuse.
