WHQL Test: about the Siemens Nixdorf Card

================================
Part D: Smart Card Provider Test
================================
Insert any of the following PC/SC Compliance Test Cards:
* Bull
* G & D
* IBM
* SCHLUMBERGER
* SIEMENS NIXDORF
>> Please insert smart card

Testing card SIEMENS NIXDORF

Test No. 1
Buffer boundary test * FAILED
- Transmit should fail due to too small buffer

to solve it,the follwing code works...

Status = SmartcardT1Request(SmartcardExtension);
if ( Status != STATUS_SUCCESS )
{
return Status;
}

but it caused another bug:

IFSD request * FAILED
- Test not performed

if I don't return the failing Status when SmartcardT1Request failed,
IFSD request would passed.

Does anyone here had met such problem???

quite at sea now:-(

do the boundary test and the IFSD request conflict?

This test is simply verifying that somebody is making sure the target
buffer is big enough to hold the data being returned from the card. If
you were calling SmartCardT0Request and SmartCardT1Request (and the
corresponding Reply functions) you wouldn't be having this difficulty.

You've asked several specialized questions about SmartCard driver
programming in the recent past. My best considered advice at this point
is that your company should have you stop working on this driver and
subcontract it to an expert. There are many more problems here than you
know about, and many more than IFDTEST will catch. Not to mention all
the basic issues with PnP and power management that are lurking down the
road when you get to running all of the WHQL tests, issues with the
resource manager on 98/Me, etc.

Bug fixed.
It is caused by the timeout of the serial reader itself.
