Just wanted to share that while the OmniKey 6121 USB Reader for ID-000
cards is stated to work on the Fellowship HOW-TO page, when using the
OpenPGP v2.0 card it requires the actual OmniKey drivers to be fully
supported.  I've confirmed this on both Mac OS X and Linux.  The one
thing that doesn't work without their drivers is the ability to sign
anything but your own keys during creation.  The following error would
be seen:

gpg: signing failed: General error
gpg: signing failed: General error

Hope this helps someone trying to use the same card.
