Hi,

I want to report success with libfprint and upeksonly driving 147e:2016 
hardware built into my Sony Vaio SZ61VN. I'm really glad the Wiki page 
stating Sony devices won't work is wrong.

But there is something strange too: the BIOS offers me an option to 
erase all fingerprints from the hardware. Even though I'd appreciate it 
to clean my screen and casing, it certainly means some built-in memory 
device. Also the Windows software asked me weather to store my prints on 
disk or within the device. Unfortunately I can not go back there again, 
Windows is gone. It seems like this sensor-only device does indeed have 
some memory. But I don't need it, I'm happy the way it works now.

Thank You for making the very last part of my Laptop work with Linux!

Tim
