Actually, I've a bad news: this is something present from the beginning of my tests, but which I've never discovered before. Every time the udev rules are processed, there's the following output: add_to_rules: unknown key 'MODALIAS' in /etc/udev/rules.d/z60_libccid.rules:6 This has the side effect that the 'RUN' program for the unknown 'MODALIAS' key is called for every udev event. You can test it by adding the MODALIAS rule and then call $ udevtest /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/ This is a no-op, because while it causes the desired effect (pcscd's configuration is "refreshed" at card insertion/removal), at the same time it means too much pcscd reload for every minimal udev event. >>> 3) an udev rules to detect PCMCIA card readers insertion/removal >>> would be nice. >> >> Sure.

Indeed, more investigation is needed. Thx, bye, Gismo / Luca
