Description of problem: The udev rules will not work because of 2 errors: first the group plugdev is missing. And second the correct line for example will be: ATTRS{idVendor}=="04cc", ATTRS{idProduct}=="2533", MODE="0664", GROUP="plugdev",SYMLINK+="nfcreader" The last part is missing, so that non root users can use the NFC reader. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): libnfc-1.7.0-1.fc19.x86_64 How reproducible: Try to use the reader as non root user. Steps to Reproduce: call nfc-list -v Actual results: An error that no readers are found. Expected results: list of readers and tag when present. Additional info: the is also an kernel module blacklist file needed: Content: /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-libnfc.conf: blacklist nfc blacklist pn533
Thanks for spotting this, we need to migrate the rules to uaccess. Regarding modules blacklist, I will provide example black list file, but I will not install it by default.

Hello I have test the packages for F20. It will work now. I only find a little problem with the package documentation about the kernel blacklist file. This part is documented twice. On at /usr/share/doc/libnfc/README.fedora and in /usr/share/doc/libnfc/README But at /usr/share/doc/libnfc/README the path is wrong. It is written as "sudo cp contrib/linux/blacklist-libnfc.conf /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-libnfc.conf" But the file live at /usr/share/libnfc/blacklist-libnfc.conf I mean not very dramatic, but for the next package rebuild it can be fixed.
(In reply to Frank Büttner from comment #6) OK, thanks, I will fix it in rawhide / f21. README is upstream file, I will probably edit the path in it.
