Fingerprint Reader
The fingerprint reader included with this model `138a:0097 Validity Sensors, Inc` currently lacks a linux driver. Community discussion of this issue indicates that preliminary efforts to reverse engineer a driver have failed. Synaptics (which has acquired 'Validity Sensors') has unofficially said that they cannot disclose the protocol, but may possibly release a binary driver.
