beid-tool does not find card reader

[Peter De Maeyer]

Since the upgrade to natty, my beid card is no longer recognized.
It worked in maverick.
When I run beid-tool, it says: "Failed to establish context: No readers found".
I've found a bug report about a related issue here: http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=628922, but I'm not convinced it's being pursued.

Have you verified that libacr38u and the control library are installed, and also the pcscd daemon ?
