Hi!
If I'm not mistaken, we are not exposing a virtual hotplug slot to the
application anymore. Slots are only created for actual readers, see
https://github.com/OpenSC/OpenSC/blob/master/src/pkcs11/slot.c#L142. I
reintroduced the virtual hotplug slot in
https://github.com/OpenSC/OpenSC/pull/872, because NSS currently expects
that, once created, a slot never disappears.
Do you have a link to the one-pin-discussion?
Regards,
Frank.
