You have to create them or load them onto the card.  There are several
HOWTOs.

The current versions as distributed by kernelconcepts actually support
switching to at least 1024, 2048, 3072 and 4096 bit.  For 4096 bit you
should use the latest GnuPG version, though.

Actually not, all the SCM reader I have seen work pretty well using our
own free software drivers.  The technical support has always been
responsive and helpful.
