Seems like "Bus 001 Device 003: ID 138a:003c DigitalPersona, Inc" is VFS451 model from Validity and according to this message (http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/fprint/2011-August/000046.html) Validity is going to deliver its own proprietary drivers for wide range of their fingerprint readers in April of 2012

==========
It will support VFS301, 5011, 5111 and 5131 in addition to VFS451, 471 & 491.
==========

But as for VFS301 it seems like libfprint just got support for this device. More info in this bug: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libfprint/+bug/744310
