[Bug 602071] Re: [0a5c:5801] Broadcom fingerprint reader not working

[Mindaugas B.]

You may much benefit from http://www.dell.com/support/ page, were you can find drivers.
E.g. for Dell latitude E6440, you can go to
http://www.dell.com/support/home/us/en/19/Drivers/DriversDetails?driverId=Y24FF
and download pack
http://downloads.dell.com/FOLDER01768497M/1/E6440_E6540_A11.fish.tar.gz
when you extract and find
bcmwl-kernel-source_6.30.223.30+bdcom-0ubuntu1~ppa1_amd64.deb

Can you test this?

Mindaugas B., bcmwl, the Broadcom proprietary wireless driver, has
nothing to do with the fingerprint reader. For more on this, please
review https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx .

As I see in
http://www.dell.com/support/home/us/en/04/Drivers/DriversDetails?driverId=R214858
description and in release.txt of various Dell ControlVault packages for
Windows, bmc5880 is very related to UPEK drivers. They are proprietary,
but fingerprint-gui (http://home.ullrich-online.cc/fingerprint/) include
it

Mindaugas B., unfortunately, your comments don't make much sense. The
driver in
http://www.dell.com/support/home/us/en/04/Drivers/DriversDetails?driverId=R214858
is for Windows, as further verified by clicking the button "Supported
Operating Systems". Given this is Launchpad, whose focus is Ubuntu
development support (not Windows), how is that relevant here?

As well, if you would care to read the website you quoted, it does not
list on its homepage 0a5c:5801 as a tested device. So, how is this
related specifically?

I don 't know, if it helpfull, but maybe it is true, that fingerprint
device originally is made by UPEK/Authentec, but you can not control it
directly because of Broadcom USH layer?

-dell-new-fingerprint-reader-owners-must-read-broadcom-ush-issue-
effecting-preciosn-m4400-m6400-latitude-e6400-others-6-print.html says:

<...>
On Dell E-series laptops the fingerprint sensor is connected via proprietary interface from Broadcom and UPEK/Authentec driver cannot communicate with the device at all. The driver cannot see the sensor - it is "hidden" behind the Broadcom chip :-(
<...>
I could REM out a line of code or two in INF file of the fingerprint sensor device
Well, I would love to have a complete information about that ;-) But frankly speaking I don't see any logical reason why to do this. Even if you modify the VID and PID list in the Broadcom driver INF file, it simply cannot start working with the fingerprint reader. It's like if you want modify your video drivers to control your printer ;-) Broadcom coprocessor and our fingerprint sensor are completely different devices, each of them requires a different driver. Furthermore, as far as I know, the fingerprint reader is not enumerated by the system at all.

I went through the whole forum thread and the only guy who was close to some solution was the one who disassembled the fingerprint reader device. If this would be connected directly to the USB (to bypass the Broadcom controller) then the fingerprint reader will be normally enumerated by the operating system and it may work correctly. I deliberately use may, as the firmware of TCEFA1FH is designed for use with Broadcom only - it does not support some of the more advanced USB features (my understanding is that these are primarily related to error recovery). Furthermore the TCEFA1FH requires 3.3V, while standard USB provides 5V, so you will need to use some adapter to change the voltage. For "real" USB applicatons we recommend the TCEFB1. Anyway, I do not recommend you to do such hardware modifications!

Please note: The BCM5880 firmware update process contains 2 protection
mechanisms to prevent unauthorized updates.

Protection Mechanism 1: TPM Deactivation.

If the Trusted Platform Module (TPM) on the target computer has ever
been activated in the past, in order to update the BCM5880 firmware, the
TPM must be set to ON and DEACTIVE in the BIOS SETUP program before the
firmware update will run. If the TPM on the target platform has never
been activated previously, then this step is NOT necessary.

Protection Mechanism 2: Anti-Hammering.

The BCM5880 is equipped with Anti-Hammering protection that detects
large numbers of read/write requests in a short period of time. This
mechanism protects against malicious software that attempts to gain
access to stored credentials by using multiple retry methods such as
dictionary or brute force attacks. If a large number of read/write
attempts are detected, the BCM5880 will temporarily shut down to prevent
unauthorized access, and a reboot is required. In some instances,
starting a firmware update may trigger the Anti-Hammering protection if
the BCM5880 has just been recently used. In this case, the firmware
update tool will prompt you to power off and then power the system back
on, and then proceed with the firmware update.

Problem persist.
Do someone already tried to use windows drivers converted with ndiswrapper?
I downloaded the software from Dell
http://downloads.dell.com/FOLDER03570999M/2/Security_Driver_WDRHG_WN64_3.3.14.68_A19_01.EXE
and follow this tutorial.
But it's not really clear which files do I have to convert.
Any idea?
