Hi Justin,

I'm using the following configuration:

 * pcsc-lite 1.40
 * ifdokrfid_lnx-2.3.0.tar.gz
 * kernel 2.4.21-47.ELsmp (RHEL3)

and it has been working well for a couple of months.  Major issue
encountered was the previous version of the driver producing "card not
transacted" errors when 60-byte APDUs were requested via the "Read Data"
command, but I worked with Omnikey support to resolve this, and the
current version of the driver (above) works well for me.  Minor issue is
that I have encountered pcscd failing to shutdown (intermittent), and I
suspect that it is related to the current version of the driver.  Mailed
the Omnikey guys about this, but have heard nothing.

Jason.
