I'm setting up a Smargo smart reader in OSCAM on my TVHEADEND Ubuntu system.
I can install OSCAM okay, however, the smart reader will not appear to read the card.
The OSCAM log is littered with this message when the reader is active:

Is the fact that there is no entry after iSerial 3 meaning that this is borked smargo and I need to get my money back?
I've tried various Windoze based tools to see if I can set the serial# or even communicate, however, these all require the USB device to handshake to a COM port, which my smargo example is not doing - while it is being detected in the Windoze and Linux OS you cannot communicate with it.
Any suggestions would be appreciated on what to try next - thanks in advance.
