lsusb: Bus 006 Device 002: ID 138a:0001 DigitalPersona, Inc Fingeprint Reader.

## In Windows7 the hardware called ''VFS201 Fingerprint Sensor'' of Validity Sensors, Inc and uses ## the HP driver "sp41660" in cooperation with "Digital Persona Fingerprint Reader Software" ## sp43883) and working fine.

I tried the groups "fprint-demo, libpam-fprint, libprint0" and "thinkfinger-tools, libthinkfinger0" and it doesn't work. When I open fprint-demo I have the indication "no devise found"
and with: sudo tf-tool --acquire
