USB card reader requires restart of Macbook Air?
I saw this post from several years ago but I am having the same problem and did not see a solution.
Using: USB smart card reader in USB 3.0 bus of a Macbook Air running Catalina 10.15.5.
The card reader works, however, only after a full restart. Any time I plug in the card reader and my smart card, the light comes on solid and then turns off after a couple seconds. The device is recognized in the System Report, but the keychain is not receiving the login details when I try to access the websites.
If I restart the computer and reinsert the card I'm good to go. All credentials are recognized by the websites. So my question is: why do I have to restart in order to use the card reader? And can I accomplish the same thing without restarting?
I have two MacBook Air laptops and two card readers - it happens with all of them no matter which combination I use. For card readers my main one is the Rocketek RT-SCR10 and the back-up is an Identiv SCR3310v2.0.
Any assistance would be great!
