Bug Description
If I install the packages "pcscd libccid opensc" and connect (or reconnect several times) my smart card reader, it is not recognized by opensc-tool. It is recognized only after I run "udevadm control --reload-rules" and reconnect my reader. Running udevadm can be substituted by rebooting Ubuntu.
I expect that the reader should be available either right after installing the packages or at least after reconnecting the reader. Rebooting or running udevadm seems a step back from previous versions in Ubuntu, where reader was immediately recognized.
I'm using Ubuntu 11.04 and the versions of packages from default repositories. Please see attached log for the details.

According to the udevadm(8) manpage:
udevadm control command
Modify the internal state of the running udev daemon.
Signal udevd to reload the rules files. The udev daemon detects
changes automatically, this option is usually not needed. Reloading
rules does not apply any changes to already existing devices.
So using "udevadm control --reload-rules" should not be needed. Maybe it is a bug in udev?
