Ok, but isn't pcscd the scdaemon? On Ubuntu 12.10 and before I'd install
the libccid and pcscd packages and the Crypto Stick still wouldn't work
even though scdaemon was installed and configured. The Crypto Stick
wouldn't work at all until I installed gpgsm.
I admit to being a bit out of date in regards to testing the 13.04
release because I've been a bit too preoccupied with outside stuff to
tinker much, but hopefully things have improved. :)
Cheers!
