Hi guys, I don't know if I'm writing in the right place.
I have a new Dell laptop with a Broadcom BCM5880 with fingerprint reader and it's not supported on Linux. $ lsusb Bus 001 Device 002: ID 8087:8000 Intel Corp. Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub Bus 003 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0003 Linux Foundation 3.0 root hub *Bus 002 Device 004: ID 0a5c:5801 Broadcom Corp. BCM5880 Secure Applications Processor with fingerprint swipe sensor* Bus 002 Device 003: ID 1bcf:2985 Sunplus Innovation Technology Inc. Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub I'm able to sniff USB packets in Windows through USBPcap with Wireshark. Would you be interested in trying to create a driver for this? It seems to be quite a common chipset in many laptops. I would love to help, possibly learning something from all this. Let me know. Best, Fran
