Package: libccid
Version: 1.3.4-1
Severity: important

When a Kobil mIDentity reader is connected to the system, it operates in
driver-less mode. In driver-less mode, the reader does not comply with the
CCID standard.

The Kobil_mIDentity_switch program can be used to switch the reader from
driver-less mode to the CCID mode. Unfortunately, that program is
currenlty broken in Debian unstable.

If version 1.3.4-1 of the package is installed, Kobil_mIDentity_switch
gives me the following output:

> > $ sudo /usr/sbin/Kobil_mIDentity_switch
> > vendor/product: 0000 0000
> > vendor/product: 0D46 4081
> > vendor/product: 046D 0896
> > vendor/product: 0000 0000
> > vendor/product: 0000 0000
> > Device found, opening ... success
> > claiming interface #0 ...
> > failed with error -16, giving up.

If I downgrade to version 1.3.0-2, the program works:

> > $ sudo /usr/sbin/Kobil_mIDentity_switch
> > vendor/product: 0000 0000
> > vendor/product: 0D46 4081
> > vendor/product: 046D 0896
> > vendor/product: 0000 0000
> > vendor/product: 0000 0000
> > Device found, opening ... success
> > claiming interface #0 ...
> > failed with error -16, trying to detach kernel driver ....
> > success, claiming interface again ...success
> > claiming interface #1 ...
> > success
> > Activating the CCID configuration .... success

It seems that (at least on my machine) the
HAVE_USB_DETACH_KERNEL_DRIVER_NP preprocessor macro must be defined when
contrib/Kobil_mIDentity_switch is built.

If the macro is defined, the current version of Kobil_mIDentity_switch
works fine.
