Your card reader and your config are fine.

This error message says it all! :-)

Your Gemalto card is lacking the OpenPGP (card) application.
The only known card which supports the OpenPGP card application is the OpenPGP 
card and the FSEcard...

You'll need such a card if you intend to use gpg whith smartcards.

HTH. Salut, Jörg
