Comment 1 for bug 278703

Thinkfinger is an inappropriately named project, unfortunately. It's goal is to support the fingerprint reader device in older model thinkpads. Unfortunately the hardware seems to have changed. Doubly unfortunate is that the upstream project is done. If your hardware isn't supported by thinkfinger today, it likely never will be.

The good news is this: thinkfinger has closed up to give way to a broader project called "fprint" that can help you. I would suggest you try fprint, but recent discussion on the mailing list makes it clear: aes2810 is not currently supported in Linux, and the reverse engineering effort will be slow.

If you're interested in helping, for the moment I suggest introducing yourself upstream and offering to help.
