Working fingerprint recognition on Debian 4.0 i386 (kernel: 2.6.20-16-generic) by myselfhimself (-3):

There are drivers in the work. I’ve tried a small software that could display my fingerprint on screen… But it did not do fingerprint recognition.
I’m not using any GUI or complete software suite using it because I don’t know any or haven’t bothered testing.

For anyone interested, you can use the sensor as a footprint scanner (you get your fingerprint as an image), but all the code needed for authentication and recognition is missing. See http://www.ag-networking.com/

With fprint.

no working driver for now. one is under early stage developpment

The pam_fprint module is being developed to support fingerprint readers. At the moment it works unreliably on the console login.

Would like to know a working driver / application !

I couldn’t find a driver…

works with libfprint

Not really existing interesting application

Working fingerprint recognition on Gentoo Gentoo Base System release 1.12.11.1 GenuineIntel (kernel: 2.6.22-gentoo-r9) by valshak (0):

I’ve never really seen that as a necessary function to have.

Working fingerprint recognition on Mandriva Linux 2008.1 i586 (kernel: 2.6.24.5-laptop-2mnb) by yoho (-3):

Although it’s detected by the system and the software seems to work, it fails to identify my fingerprints.

Working fingerprint recognition on Mandriva Linux 2008.1 i586 (kernel: 2.6.24.4-laptop-3mnb) by fredlefred (-3):

but it can’t really be used for authentification (no good software to use it)

Working fingerprint recognition on Gentoo Gentoo Base System release 1.12.11.1 AuthenticAMD (kernel: 2.6.25-tuxonice-r6-he1) by nephros (3):

works with libfprint and pam_fprint.

Working fingerprint recognition on Mandriva Linux 2008.1 i586 (kernel: 2.6.24.7-laptop-1.uc2mnb) by yoho (-3):

Detected but not really supported. Though all libraries and programs seems to be there, i’m not correctly identified through my fingerprints. The distro lacks integration of the programs.
