Matrica Moneyplex and Kobil KAAN

Starting with linux kernel 2.6.22 Kobil doesn't support the Kobil KAAN Standard Plus USB Card Reader anymore. That means that i couldn't do any bank transfers if i wanted to upgrade to a post 2.6.21 kernel. The only way to fix this remedy is to get a new card reader - the Kobil KAAN Advanced USB Card Reader ("they know how to make money" crosses my mind...). Anyway, they changed the usage of the new card reader and i counldn't access the card reader from within moneyplex. After contacting Matrica they instantly tried to support me and sent a howto for OpenSuSE which was a good starting point - but i still use Gentoo ;) So to give something back: here's the Gentoo Version.
