2.6.28 and finger print (fprint)

Question

I compiled 2.6.28 but my fingerprint reader (Bus 005 Device 003: ID 0483:2016 SGS Thomson Microelectronics Fingerprint Reader) does not work anymore. Here's the error using sudo:
> sudo ls
Scan right index finger on UPEK TouchStrip
upekts:error [__read_msg] msg read failed, code -2
upekts:error [do_init] expected command, got -1 seq=0
Fingerprint verification error -71
Password:
At least I can enter manually the password...
Anybody has the same problem?

Answer 1

I can't seem to find a possibility to attach anything to posts
Kernel patch is some posts above and there is the patch for thinkfinger, fortunately not long
PLEASE, be aware that this is not for fprint (as topic suggests), this patch is for THINKFINGER!
