USB Smartcard reader unter L4Linux

[Gianfranco Ricci]

Hi L4 Hackers,

i have solved the problem after a lot of hours by myself.

The problem is the 2.6.22-4 which neither have devFS nor udev so that
/dev/bus/usb is not populated. But the directory  is used by libusb. So
libusb were not able to communicate the the devices and the driver for
the smartcard reader could not be loaded.

I tried a "hack" and now all works fine :-), lsusb shows all devices und
the smartcard reader functions.

I just tried a ln - s /proc/bus/usb /dev/bus/usb. I know thats  some
dirty hack, if someone has an nicer solution I would be happy to hear it.
