Bug Description

Binary package hint: openct

Openct (0.6.14-2 on a Ubuntu hardy/8.04.1) does not recognize my pinpad cardreader "SPR 532/CHIPDRIVE pinpad 532".

lsusb says:

> Bus 002 Device 012: ID 04e6:e003 SCM Microsystems, Inc. SPR532 PinPad SmartCard Reader

When I add the line:

ENV{MODALIAS}=="usb:v04E6pE003*", RUN+="/lib/udev/openct_usb"

to /etc/udev/rules.d/50-openct.rules, everything works fine. I don't know whether the already present line

ENV{MODALIAS}=="usb:v04E6p0003*", RUN+="/lib/udev/openct_usb"

has a typo, or whether both product IDs are valid.

hmm, openct source in etc/ has both 04e6:0003 and 04e6:e003, not consistent, not sure
which one is correct. maybe it depends on the firmware you have installed on the reader?
(without a firmware update it might be buggy anyway - older firmware has issues with pinpad)

I fixed openct trunk source to list both ID's, that way we should be safe (changeset 1073).
please apply to ubuntu and debian.

btw: it might be better to use hal instead of udev or hotplug based mechanism -
at least the usb/udev/hal crew tells me it is best to migrate to hal and distributions
like suse already did.
