Bug Description
Since upgrading to Jaunty I find that when I hot plug an usb crypto token (an Aladdin eToken initialised with OpenSC) openct does not handle or recognise it unless I restart openct. This used to work under Intrepid. I was able to plug in the token and then, for example, it would be available to Firefox, etc.
Now, when I plug it in there are a few USB-related log messages but, for example, pkcs11-tool -L does not list the token. If I restart openct (/etc/init.d/openct restart) the token can be detected by pkcs11-tool. However, I must restart Firefox for the token to be made available to it.
I'd like to find out how to get back to the old behaviour. I'm happy to provide more detail from logs, etc. on request.

Same issue here on 2 different computers (one upgraded from 8.10, the other has been installed from scratch).
