Go to About This Mac, click on More Info, find it under USB devices.
If the firmware gets corrupted you may be able to reflash the CAC
reader under Windows. I think plugging the CAC Reading into the
keyboard can cause problems because of the lower power (100 ma instead
of 500 ma). Somethign happened to one of ours and now it has a serial
number of 000000 but it works fine after reflashing.

Well - nothing is easy! I know I checked this before, I think via
Parallels, but now it refuses to tell me. I plugged the blasted
reader into a PC and ran the advanced diagnostics and it tells me
everything about the thing EXCEPT the version, it reports that the
Vendor IFD Version is 0.0.0. I tried the same diagnostics on the HP
CAC reader and it told me everything, including the version.
It was, I thought, the latest firmware when I started using it on
Tiger, which is an age ago.
Is there any way on the Mac to get the version, some Terminal
command that queries it?
Thanks - Lawrence

What's the version of the firmware on the CAC reader? Check to see
if it's the most current (which if I remember correctly, is 5.25).
Thanks,

I have just run into this issue and I just wish I had known about
it before upgrading to Leopard. I am running 10.5 and using a
SCR331 CAC reader. This all worked fine with Tiger but I am now
unable to get to any device requiring CAC authentication and I
urgently need this to work.
Keychain crashes most of the time but when it comes up it opens a
window with no content on the right. I see my CAC on the top of
the Keychains pane, but there is nothing that can be done with it.
If I remove the CAC card from the reader Keychain behaves
normally. Safari either crashes or opens a normal login window
which is useless. Normally I get the CAC pin request, and I did
once, but Safari then crashed again.
Is there any solution that anyone is aware of or any hope that
this will be fixed realSoonNow?
Thanks - Lawrence Hare
