I am doing some testing of various USB smart card readers and have two devices I am testing it on.

One is a RHEL6 Laptop. When I connect the USB device and insert a card, the card readers stay permanently on. This is the behavior I want because I'd like to log the status of them, even if they aren't changing state.

When I try to duplicate this in Raspbian, upon inserting a card it displays a "power On" command, reads the card, and then commands a "Power Off". This sseems to me like a debian driver issue that causes it to function this way.

Any ideas on how to force it to stay on? Can I edit the drivers somehow?

I got it working, pcsc-tools includes a GUI to send commands called gscriptor, ran that and hit connect and it holds the connection open just like I wanted
