Description
Hi,
Having a bit of a problem reading the encrypted data on a MiFare card, wondering if anyone can help. Using a Raspberry Pi with the PN532 Breakout, and the Adafruit 359 Classic 1K card that came with it.
I'm just attempting to use the sample [pn532_readwrite_mifare.py](https://github.com/adafruit/Adafruit_CircuitPython_PN532/blob/main/examples/pn532_readwrite_mifare.py). It's able to read the UID of the card just fine, but returns a error with a "Received Unexpected Command Response!" error every time it runs once it gets to the mifare_classic_authenticate_block() function. Tried a few different blocks, but still no luck.
I've attached a screenshot with the error, and would be grateful for any help with it.
Thanks!

Research direction
Start with examples/pn532_readwrite_mifare.py and the mifare_classic_authenticate_block() call, reproducing the error with the Raspberry Pi, PN532 Breakout, and Adafruit 359 Classic 1K card described. Investigate why authentication returns "Received Unexpected Command Response!"; done means the sample authenticates a block and proceeds past the error.
