Actually, it was possible to reverse engineer AES2550 protocol and use same driver for AES2810 (according to datasheet AES2550 lacks crypto engine, but still register- and command-compatible with AES2810), unfortunately no one supplied AES2550 usbsniff logs, and no one had an idea to try same for AES2810. Now we have datasheets and sample devices from AuthenTec. I really hope that AuthenTec will continue to support opensource drivers for their devices. > After couple tries years ago I > just forget about it knowing that most probably won't be functional in Linux > at all.
