Dell Latitude E6500 - Wireless Smart Card Reader (Driver help)

My laptop has a Wireless Smart Card Reader . Can somebody help me get the driver for it . I tried opensc but identifies only the standart Card Reader .
By the way the laptop is perfect with linux . I got everything going exept the keyboard backlight starts automaticly (could be a hardware problem) and the Wireless Card Reader .

I’ve never configured drivers for a smart card, but please tell us the output of this command so we have more details on what drivers we should be looking for:

lspci

Or if it’s USB, lsusb.

There are a couple of links here which you might be able to get your head around as I don’t have a card reader!:
