I have to use a Smart Card reader at my workplace.  I plugged in a 
generic card reader and it needed usbccid.sys to run.  It may be 
possible that there is a Linux (generic) driver for this type of card 
reader (this is like the reader that AmEx used to distribute with the 
Blue Card.)  Dell keyboards also come with an embedded reader and there 
is NO Linux driver available from Dell for them. 

Now, these things have to work under Linux, we use them.....
