Daniel Drake, libusb 1.0 and fprint

A while back I got a microsoft fingerprint reader, hooked it up, became frustrated with it and then installed Ubuntu. Well It turns out that work is in progress to deal with it. So far a fingerprint_demo program exists and can support it with this extra driver: http://www.qrivy.net/~michael/temp/ . The guy that runs this site is Michael Crusoe who says he is a System Administrator who also helps the BioMetrics Industry. Rock on System Admins!!! The temp part of his url is a little scary, but whatever.

So after getting the fingerprint reader demo working, I looked further and found that Daniel Drake is not working on fingerprint reader support but also a new version of libusb. Here is his blog: Reactivated.net
