Hello, I need to identify the USB device to which a card reader with a specific card is connected. I am pulling my hair out but cannot find any API call that provides this information. on Ludovic's blog I find this: https://ludovicrousseau.blogspot.de/2010/05/what-is-in-pcsc-reader-name.html That does not work on my system though! ubuntu xenial 4.4.0-59-generic x86_64 When I list my card readers I get the list of readers like this from SCardListReaders(): SCM Microsystems Inc. SCR 3310 00 00 SCM Microsystems Inc. SCR 3310 01 00 OK, so the readers are enumerated. However, I need to know the usb device id to be able to connect the reader with the right card to the correct virtualization environment. Bus 002 Device 008: ID 04e6:5116 SCM Microsystems, Inc. SCR331-LC1 / SCR3310 SmartCard Reader Bus 001 Device 005: ID 04e6:5116 SCM Microsystems, Inc. SCR331-LC1 / SCR3310 SmartCard Reader I only know that the usb device id can change easily. How do I find which USB device has been connected to the the instance of the SCardReader???? Any pointers greatly welcome. _______________________________________________ Pcsclite-muscle mailing list [email protected] http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pcsclite-muscle
