[strongSwan] Trouble configuring vpn connection to strongswan using smartcard

Hi Nathan,

You are confusing charon-cmd and NM/charon-nm (and perhaps charon).
charon-nm supports private keys on smartcards (with the already
mentioned limitations), as does charon (with more flexibility),
charon-cmd does not.
