There is a link:

http://www.nabble.com/ssh-and-CAC-t2483281.html

with some information.

You have the SmartCard setup working under Linux?

What reader are you using?  I've tried the ActiveCard v2.0 USB to no

I should have an Athena USB reader coming my way soon.  Hopefully that 
will allow use with FireFox.
