[fprint] question about biometric verify

[Wolfgang Ullrich]

Hi Miguel,

afaik the libfprint driver is not capable of identification with upek
devices. For my own project FingeprintGui I've used the proprietary
Linux driver "libbsapi.so" from UPEK. See
http://www.pdfserver.net/fingerprint for more details.

Cheers
