Hello Alon ! Unfortunately I don't have an accessible thinkpad laptop (luckly the external usb devices may work the same way). From the USB readers at http://www.upek.com/products/usb.asp, which one do you think that fits better the hardware on your laptop ?
I think that the TCRE3C is similar to the laptop one. I also hope that it is the same... Also the laptop integrated one is USB device.

I was looking for any place that sells those devices and I could not find any online (even though I found lots of SDK and matching engines that supports them, like VeriFinger). Is there any place where I can buy one of those readers ?
Oh... I really don't know... You can buy a new laptop :) Best Regards, Alon Bar-Lev. -- Kernelnewbies: Help each other learn about the Linux kernel. Archive: http://mail.nl.linux.org/kernelnewbies/ FAQ: http://kernelnewbies.org/faq/
