Broadcom fingerprint reader 0a5c:5843 driver

[Ran.Rutenberg]

Hi,

I'm looking to get a Broadcom fingerprint reader working. Its vendor and product ID are: 0a5c:5843
It is not supported directly by fprintd but I so that in Ubuntu there is a propriety driver for it: https://git.launchpad.net/~oem-solutions-engineers/libfprint-2-tod1-broadcom/+git/libfprint-2-tod1-broadcom/ and that Arch has an AUR package made on the basis of the Ubuntu package.

Does anyone knows if there is a ebuild for this driver? I tried searching but did not find.

If there's is a proprietary driver, it may be useful to install using manual compilation: gentoo offers a lot of flexibility, but it comes at a price

hello,

searched for 0a5c:5843 linux and found this - no guarantee

https://vladimir-ivanov.net/fingerprint-reader-0a5c5843-broadcom-corp-58200-ubuntu-linux-mint-driver-install/

some mentioned on other sites that the device only worked after shutdown and restart (after install)
