The newer Telesec cards are based on TCOS 4 and we have only support for
TCOS 3.  But:

    scd:nks: Make newer TCOS signature cards work.
    
    * scd/app-nks.c: Make appversion 232 an alias for 15.

    I received a new QES signature card and it turned out that the
    appversion was changed from 15 to 232.  I have no further information
    but simply tried this patch and it worked as far as I can check: I was
    able to init the PINs and PUKs using gpg-card and could also install
    the extra certificates using the writcert command.  Signing with this
    card also works.

That seems to be a different one than the QES Signature Card I received
in November.  You may try to use the same trick as I did.

I do have the specs for the TCOS 4 card (they are actually fast if you
ask them) but not yet found the time to check the differences and
implement it.  Will definitely help but my above hack (commit
17596e830f08e601f2ea5142343996d48dd2930b) is currently sufficient for me
to sign documents with Okular.


Salam-Shalom,

   Werner
