Comment 9 for bug 285089

I talked to someone on the fprint mailing list and apparently this isn't a
DigitalPersona fingerprint reader, its "Validity" but they use
digitalpersona software
i've sent them logs from vista so they can start working on it but
here is the relevant wiki page about it:
http://www.reactivated.net/fprint/wiki/Unsupported_devices#Validity_VFS101

about the usb:id - i think this process may have been started
here's a link to the usb:id site from the fprint wiki:
