Thinkfinger is an inappropriately named project, unfortunately.  It's
goal is to support the fingerprint reader device in older model
thinkpads.  Unfortunately the hardware seems to have changed.  Doubly
unfortunate is that the upstream project is done. If your hardware isn't
supported by thinkfinger today, it likely never will be.

The good news is this:  thinkfinger has closed up to give way to a
broader project called "fprint" that can help you.  I would suggest you
try fprint, but recent discussion on the mailing list makes it clear:
aes2810 is not currently supported in Linux, and the reverse engineering
effort will be slow.

If you're interested in helping, for the moment I suggest introducing
yourself upstream and offering to help.
