Will,

The "PIVKey T800” is indeed already supported by the CCID driver included with El Capitan.

Run the falling command on your system and you will see
$ cat /usr/libexec/SmartCardServices/drivers/ifd-ccid.bundle/Contents/Info.plist | grep PIVKey
<string>PIVKey T800</string>

It is also listed on Dr. Ludovic’s ccid hw supported page:
http://pcsclite.alioth.debian.org/ccid/section.html#288


The real questions is, what card profile (applet) is loaded on that device and do you have a corresponding tokend loaded for that ?

HW Reader support is only part of the whole equation.

I have been testing with a PIVKey T800.  Supposedly it works fine with the native drivers however it is not recognized.  On El Capitan modifying the file so that it is recognized (as recommended by PIVKey) is a pain.  My question is, is there a reason why we can’t include the PIVKey identifiers in the smart card services install so that everything just works in El Capitan?  Please help me understand what I’m missing.  Thanks.
