I am not sure smart card login is still supported in Lion.
See [1]:
" What was changed ?
The Smart Card Services deprecation was limited to the following
components no longer shipping in OS X.

o No Tokend modules ship with OS X Lion (10.7)
Modules: /System/Library/Security/tokend/*.tokend

o Authorization Mechanism reference missing
Database: /etc/authorization
Right: system.login.console
Mechanism: builtin:smartcard-sniffer,privileged "

Bye
