Bug Description
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.
