Bug Description

I'd just like to register that Ubuntu does not yet have support for the Lenovo 3000 N200 fingerprint reader.

I'm aware that this is a feature that is a nice-to-have, but it would give Ubuntu that wow factor.

lsusb produces:

Though not officially supported, you may want to take a look at this: http://linux.spiney.org/debian_gnu_linux_on_an_ibm_thinkpad_t43p_fingerprint_reader

Much of the hardware in the N* series notebooks is derived from the Thinkpads.
