Host: Thinkpad T61p 6457-7WU

Upgrading from 2.6.28-3 to the new 2.6.28-4 kernel breaks the fingerprint reader using thinkfinger. Reverting to the older kernel restores functionality.

Attached should be the logs. I also just received this in the Xorrg log:

==> /var/log/Xorg.0.log <==
(EE) Virtual ThinkFinger Keyboard: Read error: No such device
(II) config/hal: removing device Virtual ThinkFinger Keyboard
(II) Virtual ThinkFinger Keyboard: Close
(II) UnloadModule: "evdev"

An example of the problem:

 $ tf-tool --verify

 Initializing...Could not claim USB device.

After I reboot, I'll come back and post what it shows when I do this under 2.6.28-3.
