Yes. Install you own driver for your specific readers.
Patching the Apple provided driver was not really a good idea. Even if it
worked.

Maybe your device is a new one and is not yet listed in my CCID driver. I
find only 3 rutoken devices [1].

You can add your device in my list [2] (if not yet listed) and it will be
supported on OS X when Apple upgrades the provided CCID driver.

Providing device support is expected to be performed during installation

Patching Apple provided software was a bad idea. It is now harder and that
is a good thing.
