I've bought a generic USB-based SIM/smart card reader to see if I can read a SIM. It came without any useful instructions or software. I have no idea about the infrastructure of such software/hardware on linux.
I've discovered and installed pcsc-lite and pcsc-ccid and pcsc-tools
Are you sure your reader supports CCID?
When I plug in the reader, it's reported in the journal:

pcscd is running but pcsc_scan just says
Waiting for the first reader...
Anybody know anything about these devices and can advise or point me to good documentation?
