I suspect what most people want is support for libfprint and pam_fprint.
http://reactivated.net/fprint/wiki/Supported_devices

At the moment, their website claims they have a shortage of skilled developers to convert USB sniff logs into drivers, but it also claims that the last notable update was in 2008 and that libfprint is at v0.0.6.

Given that libfprint is at v0.3.0 and their mailing list seems reasonably healthy for a small project, I assume they've been forgetting to update at least parts of their website... which means even more devices than on that list may be supported. (eg. One recent conversation I saw via GMANE involved a developer soliciting testers for a new driver backend)
