doburoku さん、こんにちは。
/etc/init.d/pcscd を書いてあるとおりに編集してみました。
ICカードリーダ SCR3310-NTTComが、認識され
JavaやPKCS#11などのアプリケーションで正しく動作することが確認されました。
動作の確認だけで恐縮ですが、急ぎ、ご報告まで。

はじめまして、plumaと申します。

mint14を使用していますがICカードリーダーが読み込みません。

../init.d/pcscdファイルのコードが全然違っていて（43行目にextt 0がない状態）pcsc_scanをかけても

Waiting for the first reader...

で止まってしまいます。

そのpcscdファイルのコードは以下です。

以上

43行目(exit 0)に該当しそうな所はコメントアウト試しましたが、相変わらずエラーのままで認識しません。
対処方法等よろしくおねがいします。
