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.

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.

have not tested
Working fingerprint recognition on Mandriva Linux 2009.0 i586 (kernel: 2.6.27.5-desktop-2mnb) by baud123 (-5):
would require latest version of fprint and libfprint (not tried) check http://wiki.mandriva.com/fr/Installation_lecteur_empreinte [fr] or http://knowledge76.com/index.php/Fingerprint_Reader_Installation [en]
Working fingerprint recognition on Ubuntu 9.04 i386 (kernel: 2.6.28-12-generic) by BigBob (3):
Ubuntu Jaunty 9.04 i386 Then just follow the fingerprintGUI project explanations
