I managed to borrow a USB power meter and check how much power the smart
card reader is using when running --card-status.  I was surprised to
discover that the power consumption was too low to measure.  The ampere
meter showed 0.00 A, and the voltage stayed put on 5.11 V.  I guess that
rule out the "not enough power" hypotesis.

I would love to help debug this, but have no idea where to start.
Perhaps we can discuss this on IRC?
