Dell Fingerprint

[spectre]

Hello,

The included fingerprint scanner for my part in the Dell Latitude E6530 with Ubuntu 4.12 does not work. It would be very interesting as Ubuntu and Dell working on it to activate the system.

Here is the corresponding line via lsusb:

Bus 002 Device 003: ID 0a5c: 5801 Broadcom Corp.. BCM5880 Secure Application Processor with fingerprint swipe sensor

Thank you.

Bonjour,

Le scanner d'empreinte digital inclus pour ma part dans le Dell Latitude E6530 sous Ubuntu 12.04 ne fonctionne pas. Il serait fort interessant que Ubuntu et Dell travaillent sur le sujet pour l'activation du systeme.

Voici la ligne correspondante via lsusb:

Bus 002 Device 003: ID 0a5c:5801 Broadcom Corp. BCM5880 Secure Applications Processor with fingerprint swipe sensor

Merci.

Thanks for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. We appreciate the difficulties you are facing, but this appears to be a "regular" (non-security) bug. I have unmarked it as a security issue since this bug does not show evidence of allowing attackers to cross privilege boundaries nor directly cause loss of data/privacy. Please feel free to report any other bugs you may find.

This wire and connected to the same concerns that this which I also brought my help. Is it possible to link together or not worth it? Thank you.
