The smart card reader arrived today
wouter@country:/opt/belpic/bin$ ./opensc-tool -n Connecting to card in reader CCID Compatible... Using card driver: Belpic smartcards Card name: Belpic smartcards
So far, so good.
Now for a few bits of extra stuff. The belpic binaries, as shipped on the Belgian government website, are renamed to include a "belpic" prefix. It would be reasonable, for both my sanity and that of the opensc maintainer, to do the same.
When I get home tonight, I'll also compare the upstream binaries against my own. But since my laptop is powerpc, and Zetes only ships i386 binaries...
