CDR Sironi,
Did you update the firmware on your card reader to version 5.25 IAW "CAC for
a MAC V1.2.doc.? This could create the issue you describe. I had the same
problem and am now successfully running OWA on my Macbook with OS 10.5.7.
It's important to note that DOD CAC enabled websites will not work with
Firefox so Safari is your only browser option.
Below is a paste of a reply posted a while back on how I got my system up
and running:

Please let me know if this works for you.
