Stable now and works as expected. Thank you!

I'm still having problems with 2.2.24. Now the card removal is detected correctly, but the initialization fails.

This is also what I found out with my tests with the libvirt usb: removing and redirecting back the device got it working again.

Ok. Tried to test this with master, but failed. I got it compiled and installed, and it actually detected the first removal after reboot/suspend/reader attach/whatever reason, but after that when I inserted the card back, it didn't function anymore. I suppose you also tried that? I mean that's the use case, I suppose: to be able to remove/insert the card reliably all day long.

Nice, thanks! If I want to try this fix, should I just compile the master tree?

I also don't want to leave my card in the reader authenticated for a full day, it just doesn't sound like a good practice to me. I also very often just forget about the card, so it just sits there, keys open for use.

This is everything lsusb knows about the device:

Just wanted to add to my initial findings:

• I was not using proprietary drivers (libscmccid.so.5.0.35), because the installer script fails to install on default CentOS 8 pcsc-lite. So the distribution pcsc-lite also doesn't have this issue.
• Fastest way to test this condition is to just detach/attach the reader device.
• Proprietary drivers doesn't support secure pin entry!

Thanks for prompt answer!
