    I've a Dell E6430 with fingerprint reader. Cannot get this to work in gnome ubuntu. Installed the fingerprint gui, but it says no fingerprint devices found.

    lsusb output gives this:

    Bus 002 Device 003: ID 0a5c:5801 Broadcom Corp. BCM5880 Secure Applications Processor with fingerprint swipe sensor


    How can i get this to work? Please help
