           Summary: Fingerprint Sensor (AuthenTec) get detect as Scanner
                    (create_hal_global_fdi_for_scanners  parses
                    unsupported.desc file)

On initial login in KDE the suseplugger popup and detects the Fingerprint
Sensor as "Scanner" - and ask if the YaST scanner module should be started.

The root of this problem is in

/usr/share/sane/create_hal_global_fdi_for_scanners

which got executed on post install of the sane-backends package. 
( Output got piped into /etc/hal/fdi/policy/10osvendor/70-scanner.fdi )


DESCRIPTION_FILES="/usr/share/sane/descriptions/*.desc" contains also the file 
/usr/share/sane/descriptions/unsupported.desc

The AutehnTec Fingerprint sensor (:usbid "0x08ff" "0x2580") is listed in this
file as well. I guess this file should be excluded from the
create_hal_global_fdi_for_scanners script. Otherwise the capability property
"scanner" would get part of the 70-scanner.fdi file. And HAL would merge this
capability into this not as scanner intended device. And suseplugger wouldn't
get called...

(removing the unsupported.desc and executing the script again - definitely
solved the problem.)

( Isn't that an insane sane bug? )
