Got it a bit further than before but now am facing a new problem:)
Iv researched this for the last 3 or 4 hours and cant find a solution.
Iv tried setting
device = serial:reader "serial"
nothing seems to work.
here is the error im getting
2012/03/19 1:38:38 0 s waiting for local card init

and my cfg file:
[reader]
label = ***uk
enable = 1
protocol = smartreader
device = 008:003
#boxid = *******
mhz = 600
cardmhz = 600
caid = 0963
group = 1
emmcache = 1,3,2
The smartreader is running on 1.7 firmware if that helps anyone
i tried to run the reader on a powered usb and still get the same errors
