[fprint] Driver skeleton

[Patrick Marlier]

Hi Suco,

I guess you can have a look at this:
http://www.nitgen.com.br/downloads/drivers
And particularly at this:
http://www.nitgen.com.br/Content/Uploads/Downloads/VenusDrv-1.0.1-7.2.tar.gz

Since you do not have the specifications, I would advice you to start 
writing a C (or whatever) program to play with your device.

About your sniffing, I guess you missed all the initialization of the 
driver. Did you deactivated your device before to start the capture?

Good luck with the analysis of frames and so on (I did a lot of work but 
sadly due to no interest of people I will probably have to keep it 
private...).

Patrick.
