The documentation for OpenPGP v2 smartcard states that only RIPEMD-160 &
SHA-1 are supported as a digest algorithm at this point in time.  You'll
have to change your digest prefs accordingly to use the card.

excert from doc:

"Cards with Version < 2.0 sup­port RIPEMD-160 and SHA-1 only and may
check it, so other hash algorithms cannot be
used."

Although I assume it should say =<2.0.  Feedback from others if this was
a typo in teh doc and should be =<2.0?
