Omnikey CardMan 1021 ID-s to openct.conf

Hi!

I tested this reader on Fedora Core 6 with openct 0.6.11
Works well with CCID driver.
Can someone please add this line to default openct.conf in
SVN (under
driver ccid -> ids):

usb:076b/1021,  # OmniKey CardMan 1021

Oh, and I have been thinking that maybe OpenCT should enable
ccid driver
for any reader that claims to be ccid compatible by default.
Hotplug
script triggers on bInterfaceClass 11 anyway, so why should
we add every
reader id the manufacturers can come up with to the
openct.conf? If it
works, then it works, if not, then the user is screwed
anyway.
Everything that complies to some published USB standard
works this way
in Linux, I mean nobody even thinks about creating a list of
"supported"
mass storage device or USB sound card ID-s. There are hacks
for specific
devices in kernel that trigger by USB id-s, but everything
else runs
with standard driver by default.

well, the list was started and the design done and
implemented before 
ccid devices were common available. hmm, I thought about
implementing 
the check in openct for bInterfaceClass and link it to ccid,
but never
got around to do it. but you are right, setting ccid as
default could
be much easier and help a lot for now.

can't implement it right now (no time). maybe someone wants
to have a look?

Regards, Andreas
