Fingerprint reader compatibility
Preamble
I need to buy 8 external fingerprint readers but I'm not sure they will work on the latest version of Ubuntu and I do not want to spend money blindly.
The readers I would like to purchase are the Security USB Biometric Fingerprint Reader Lock by Sienoc and the USB Fingerprint Reader from Powstro, both (as always) declared compatible only with Windows because not tested by the seller on Linux.
All I need is to find one cheap reader that is compatible with PAM logins, therefore tested hardware recommendations are welcome.
Questions
- Has anyone tested one of these fingerprint readers on Debian or Ubuntu?
- What level of functionality should I expect with the latest GNU/Linux kernel?
- Are proprietary drivers required?
