I have a slightly different problem on 14.5. The smart card reader connects as I can find it in the system report as attached to USB, but the CARD doesn't read. It will read sometimes, but you have to unplug/plug it in many many times in some cases. It seems that there is a process that is failing somewhere in the chain leaving the system in a bad state.
