Did this patch manage to end up in the Libccid library from Ludovic Rousseau?

I am on Ubuntu 20.4 on my laptop with I think the same NFC SmartCard reader miniLector AIR NFC v3, I checked /etc/libccid_Info.plist: in that XML I can find other readers from the same Vendor=25dd, but not the same device/product ProdID=3403.

It would be good to add this device to that list directly in the source code repository, however I cannot figure out where to submit the patch - it seems the project is maintained both on GitHub and Ludovic personal website.

For completeness:

By the way, thank you very much for this useful tutorial: https://www.dontesta.it/2020/11/04/raspberry-pi-come-installare-minilector-cie-ubuntu-server-20-04-lts/

Hi @tappoz
Since version 1.4.34 support has been added, as you can also see from the link to the project sources https://salsa.debian.org/rousseau/CCID/-/blob/1.4.34/readers/BIT4ID_miniLector_AIR_NFC_v3.txt

On Ubuntu 20.04 the default driver is perhaps the old one that is not updated.

Thanks for appreciating my article.

Thanks for that - again very useful! Do you know if there's a .deb package already compiled and available for version 1.4.34? I am not very familiar with patching and maintaining deb packages, so I might be missing some context and obvious gotchas. Thanks again 👍

You can find the updated driver here https://packages.ubuntu.com/hirsute/libccid which is distributed on 21.04 Hirsuite.
