Now that OpenSC is installed, we will check the installation.
Check OpenSC version
Check that you have a recent OpenSC version with openssl and pcsc support:
opensc 0.12.2 [gcc 4.4.5]
Enabled features: zlib readline openssl pcsc(libpcsclite.so.1)
You need at least OpenSC 0.12.2, which solves several issues. If your system does not provide a recent version of OpenSC, upgrade your distribution or compile from sources using OpenSC svn version.
Check recognition
Check that the card reader is correctly recognized by OpenSC:
# Detected readers (pcsc)
Nr. Card Features Name
0 Yes Feitian SCR301 00 00
At nr. 0 we have our recognized Feitian R-301 reader.
