[Bug 1230182] [NEW] YubiKey NEO not detected

[Robin Sheat]

Public bug reported:

The YubiKey NEO is a device that does things like HOTP keys, and can
also behave as a PGP smartcard.

In the default udev rules, attempting to use it as a smartcard gives the
following error:

$ LANGUAGE=en gpg --card-status
gpg: pcsc_establish_context failed: no service (0x8010001d)
gpg: card reader not available
gpg: OpenPGP card not available: general error

which is GPG's obscure way of saying that it can't find a card, although
the real problem is the USB device isn't readable by the logged in user.

If you add the following udev rule:

$ cat /etc/udev/rules.d/70-yubikey.rules 
ACTION=="add|change", SUBSYSTEM=="usb", \
  ATTRS{idVendor}=="1050", ATTRS{idProduct}=="0111", \
  TEST=="/var/run/ConsoleKit/database", \
  RUN+="udev-acl --action=$env{ACTION} --device=$env{DEVNAME}"

which is pretty much a copy of /lib/udev/rules.d/70-yubikey.rules with
the idProduct changed, then things start working again:

$ LANGUAGE=en gpg --card-status
Application ID ...: D2760001240102000000000000010000
Version ..........: 2.0

... and so on.
