The solution is not to integrate the closed source driver, it is to 
sniff the traffic and figure out the protocol, then write an open source 
fprint driver.

If the binary driver runs on linux and outputs a bitmap then it should 
be nice and easy to figure out, if you have the patience and a basic 
knowledge of USB messaging.
