fingerprint driver for 0a5c:5865 Broadcom sensor

i have a Dell Precision 3591 running Ubuntu 24.04 LTE and i can't seem to find a driver for the fingerprint sensor anywhere.
i don't really have the time/knowledge to write a driver on my own
do you have any idea where can i find a driver that might work or sources for a driver that can be easily adjusted to work with this sensor?

Finding drivers for fingerprint sensors on Linux can be tricky. While Dell might not have a specific Ubuntu 24.04 driver, you have a few options:

  1. Check the Ubuntu repositories: Sometimes generic drivers are included. Search for "fingerprint sensor" in the Ubuntu Software tool.
  2. Broadcom website: They might offer Linux drivers, though they might be general and require adjustments. Search for "Broadcom 0a5c:5865 Linux driver" on their website.
  3. Community forums: Search the Ubuntu forums for solutions related to fingerprint sensors on Broadcom chips.
