I'm successfully using my smart card reader (a SPR 532) under Ubuntu
dapper as a user.

I've created the group "scard" and added my user to it (don't forget to
re-login). Then I created a udev rules file suitable for the udev
version in dapper:
,----[ gnupg-ccid.rules ]-
| # udev rules for card reader
| 
| SUBSYSTEM!="usb_device", GOTO="gnupg-ccid_rules_end"
| 
| SYSFS{idVendor}=="04e6", SYSFS{idProduct}=="e003", GROUP="scard", MODE="0660"
| 
| LABEL="gnupg-ccid_rules_end"
`----
You have to change the idVendor and idProduct as suited for your card
reader. It is placed in /etc/udev/rules.d. To test if it works restart
udevd.
