Ok, thanks. So I updated my usbids and it now reports the device properly as a Validity VFS301 fingerprint reader. The general consensus seems to be to try hacking on the VFS101 driver.
So, I guess I'll go build the code from the latest, and see what happens. At the worst I'll get some debug info. Thanks, guys.
