Integrated Fingerprint Reader

[bautzen]

Hi to all, I would like to enable my internal Fingerprint Reader AuthenTec Inc. AES2501A but I'm not able to decompile/compile and in general manage code's stuff, for that reason I would like to ask you some help for me and all other with the same issue.

 

Under System Profiler it has recognized correctly as:

DeviceID: 0x2580 (9600 in Decimal)

VendorID: 0x08FF (2303 in Decimal)

 

I have just tried with UPEK Truesuite 2.x without success, I think that it's something related to llusb.bundle driver under /Library/Application support/UPEK/... that recognized only 2 or 3 Thomson hardware. Change Info.plist naturally doesn't help. I have open the file llusb with an hex editor and change the code from 0x2016:0x0483 (one supported device) to 0x2580:0x08ff but .... no success.

 

I have found on Internet a MAN that was able to recompile frpint LINK to OSX 10.5.6 with success. HERE for reference.

 

I would like to know if someone here is able to try a porting to OSX Snow Leopard 10.6.x maybe integrating something like Fingeprint GUI used for Linux and Ubuntu. LINK

 

fprint seems to support almost all fingerscanner hardware.

 

I hope to find someone with the patience to enable this interesting feature

 

Thanks to all

Really none is interesting on this???

 

I'm am completely newbie as programmer/developer and I'm not able to understand the complexity of a porting like this.

 

Is it possibile something like to "compile" a OSX driver from source libfprint and replace the llusb.bundle of UPEK software?? (I think to have written something of idiot!! :censored2: )

 

Is it so complex instead attempt a porting of the freeware Fingerprint GUI to OSX?

 

An answer will be great appreciated

 

Thank you
