Testing EAP-SIM using wpa_supplicant for ubuntu

[Venkatachalam Subramanian]

Hey all,

I'm currently testing the EAP-SIM method using the wpa_supplicant on ubuntu.
I've installed PCSC and set up the build configuration for the wpa_supplicant accordingly.
However, I'm not able to authenticate using the 'Dekart Smart Card USB reader'.
It throws an error saying,

Selected network is configured to use SIM (sim=1 aka=0) - initialize PCSC
SCARD: initializing smart card interface
SCARD: Could not establish smart card context (err=-2146435043)
SCARD: deinitializing smart card interface
Failed to initialize SIM (pcsc-lite)

Could some one please help me with this??

When you start your PCSC daemon on command line, e.g. 'pcscd -f -a -d'
you can see the debug output of the daemon.
The wpa_supplicant client cannot connect to the daemon (error
8010001D) so either your daemon is not running or you might have a
version mismatch?
