Recently I upgraded my "old" Dell Latitude E7440 to a newer E7450. Both include a SmartCard reader. Using Ubuntu 15.04, the reader in the E7440 was recognized and worked perfectly, which is however not the case for the reader in my new notebook. My USB reader works perfectly. Unfortunately I don't know which type of SmartCard reader was included in the E7440, and I do not have access anymore.

The smartcard driver (SafeSign) itself is installed, as the smartcard works with my usb reader. The packages "libccid, pcscd, and libssl0.9.8" are installed properly. The tokenadmin utility does not even show the reader. Any ideas where the problem could be?
