Dual protocol card issue:
For dual protocol cards
(T=0 and T=1) the
connection will be used in
T=0 (default protocol).
pcsc-lite will not switch
the card to T=1 as it is
required for contactless
cards.
If the application needs to use the
contactless interface the connection
should be made using the T=1
protocol only.
