Hi,
It works too with virtualbox (I used it for authentec 1610).

If both AuthenTec and lenovo refuse to provide driver, you would have to
sniff the USB traffic on windows.
Vmware is able to forward USB devices into virtual OS, don't know about
others, so you don't have to have windows on disk and can have linux booted.
There were some links on fprint bugtracker, that could lead you to the
right tools for the job.

That doesn't sound good, have anyone (John?) tried to ask AuthenTec (or
possibly lenovo) for a linux driver or even hardware specifications that
could be used for writing a driver? I know that it is not probable but
why not try the easiest way first.
There's no harm in trying. I doubt I'll get a response, but we'll see.
Who knows, we might get lucky. Note I'm going on vacation tomorrow
through sunday and (thankfully) won't be near email, so no answer in the
next few days doesn't necessarily mean defeat.
I guess the way to reverse engineer these things is to boot up windows
and use some sort of usb snooper? Can qemu/KVM be used instead? When I
get back I'll take a crack at it. Any pointers would be appreciated.
