The driver is really primitive, and only handles T0 (well, it only handles
a subset of what is needed for a T0 implementation as far as I can tell.)
I have been thinking about doing something with it for a long time (I have
actually started by writing a man page...) but I have given it a rather
low prio since there are not that many Sharks, and even fewer smart card
applications, so I was not sure if anyone else would use it (and I have
"real" smart card readers to play with...)
Hmm. But you shouldn't get that error... I'll take a look at it.
