"dumbreader" is shipped by default, so this step is not needed. Please
check the following requirements:

- follow http://wiki.openpcd.org/wiki/Firmware: especially uses verison
1999 for your librfid host libraries:

svn co -r1999 https://svn.gnumonks.org/trunk/librfid/ librfid.host

- make sure you either use udev-rules to fix the accessrights to your
USB devices - verify by running "mifare-tool" as root wand using the
shipped demo card.

- if the two steps above don't work - use a self powered hub (a hub with
 external power supply) to make sure that your USB port can meet the
power requirements of OpenPCD.
