Installing Omnikey CardMan 3x21 in Ubuntu

The OmniKey uses the PCSC spesification, PC/SC (short for "Personal Computer/Smart Card") is a specification for smart-card integration into computer environments.

On Ubuntu Raring (13.04) this can be installed via:
sudo apt-get install pcscd 
sudo apt-get install pcsc-tools

Then download the latest firmware from the hidglobal website (search for the PC/SC CCID version) for x64 system it would be : "CardMan 3x21 PC/SC CCID for Linux X64"

Then unpack the file and run the installer:
cd /home/cccam/ifdokccid_lnx_x64-3.7.0/ 
chmod 755 install
sudo ./install

and lastly run the scanner to search for a card reader in a terminal window
cd 
pcsc_scan

if all go according to plan the following should see:
user@pc:~$ pcsc_scan 
PC/SC device scanner
V 1.4.21 (c) 2001-2011, Ludovic Rousseau <ludovic.rousseau@free.fr>

    Thanks for this...trying to work from home today, suddenly windows couldn't access the card (error it reported).
    Tried the Linux version and I get better details on what is going on, it seems to be something suddenly broken with the card:
