disabled, but when i enabled i was able to hotplug the card in the reader,

Message:
You haven't done anything wrong. There is a bug in rdesktop. The set of
users using both rdesktop and smart cards is growing but still small; the
subset of those users who can hack on the smartcard support is even
smaller. So bugs in this area are not fixed very quickly.

The workaround is to set your terminal server to not log people off as
soon as they disconnect. Then when you remove the smartcard (for whatever
reason), you can disconnect without logging out of Windows by closing the
rdesktop client, and restart rdesktop with the smart card inserted, to
reconnect to the terminal server. Then you'll start your Windows session
where you left it off, with the smartcard working.
