Daniel, Yes, the driver runs in Linux and I could sniff the USB bus, the problem is that I'm on a tight schedule and I was thinking in a quicker approach, i.e., to wrap the libfprint driver methods to use my binary (closed source) driver. I've only started to dig into the project sources, but it seams to me that it could be feasible. What do you think? Of course, I don't mind in parallel to do the sniffing and post the results for the implementation of an open-source driver. BTW, the device is a Futronic FS80.
