Hi,
I recently got a new lappy from my employer. It is a Fujitsu Lifebook E series. I cannot complain about hardware recognition on openSUSE 10.3: most of the hardware got recognized without problems. The only thing I am having trouble with is the fingerprint reader: a Authentec AES2501.
After finishing installation, SuSE detected the presence of a fingerprint reader and presented a configuration dialog. The problem is that I did not know the vendor and model and I cancelled configuration. I then rebooted to windows to take a look for the needed information. That's where I found out it is a Authentec AES2501.
Yesterday, after finishing installing/upgrading some packages, I decided to try to configure it. I went into YaST's hardware section for the fingerprint reader/scanner configuration tool and now YaST says it couldn't find any fingerprint reader.
Do you know how to make suse recognize it again?
I did some googling and I found out there is some driver for that very same model: aes2501. Do I need to install it or should YaST take care of that?
Any help will be highly appreciated. Thanks.

I have the same device on an HP Pavillion dv9572EA. There are no working linux drivers for this device as yet, there are some experimental packages with very limited capability. Check here,
