Is this like...

openwrt, by any chance?

openwrt.org

That would be the open source linux for linksys (and well, all the rest too), wireless routers. It's basically just open source replacement software for your router, but you can also solder a serial port to the machine and get a console interface. You can also do some other crazy stuff with it like attach a phone interface cable to the serial port and make the router act like a gateway through the cell phone. You can make it serve files and stuff like that too. Maybe put a card reader on it? Or are you just basically going to do the exact same thing (as openwrt), but on a whole computer? Would you be rewriting all the software that does this already or maybe looking into the hardware aspect like attaching lots and lots of nics in order to get multiple ports? Maybe you want to just show how to implement the pre-existing software? "What's your focus," I guess, is what I'm trying to ask.

reader.conf

READER.CONF(5)							    PC/SC Lite							    READER.CONF(5)

NAME

       reader.conf - configuration file for pcscd readers' drivers

DESCRIPTION

       The /etc/reader.conf.d/reader.conf file contains configuration information for serial and (some) PCMCIA smart card readers.

       USB readers SHALL NOT be configured using this file.  pcscd uses another mechanism to automatically load USB drivers.

SYNTAX

       The /etc/reader.conf.d/reader.conf is a regular text file. Each reader must be defined by four fields:

	FRIENDLYNAME	 TEXT_STRING
	DEVICENAME	 FILENAME
	LIBPATH 	 FILENAME
	CHANNELID	 NUMBER

       The "FRIENDLYNAME" field is an arbitrary text used to identify the reader. This text is displayed by commands like pcsc_scan(1) that prints
       the names of all the connected and detected readers.

       The "DEVICENAME" field was not used for old drivers (using the IFD handler version 2.0 or earlier). It is now  (IFD  handler  version  3.0)
       used  to  identify the physical port on which the reader is connected. This is the device name of this port. It is dependent of the OS ker-
       nel. The first serial port device is called /dev/ttyS0 under Linux and /dev/cuaa0 under FreeBSD.

       The "LIBPATH" field is the filename of the driver code. The driver is a dynamically loaded piece of code (generally a drivername.so*file).

       The "CHANNELID" is no more used for recent drivers (IFD handler 3.0) and has been superseded by "DEVICENAME". If you  have  an  old  driver
       this  field  is	used  to  indicate  the port to use. You should read your driver documentation to know what information is needed here. It
       should be the serial port number for a serial reader.

EXAMPLE

	# Gemplus GemPCTwin reader with serial communication
	# connected to the first serial port
	FRIENDLYNAME	  "GemPCTwin serial"
	DEVICENAME	  /dev/ttyS0
	LIBPATH 	  /usr/lib64/pcsc/drivers/serial/libccidtwin.so.0.4.1
	CHANNELID	  1

DEBUGGING

       In order to set up your /etc/reader.conf.d/reader.conf file correctly you may want to have debug messages from pcscd.  I recommend  you	to
       start pscsd in the foreground and debug mode using:
	# pcscd --foreground --debug

       If  everything  seems  OK  you can use the pcsc_scan command to print the list of correctly detected readers and try to get the ATR of your
       smart cards.
