How can I disable my Fingerprint Reader?
Upgraded to 8.10 from 8.04 and had to redo a lot of things to save power on my laptop.
Powertop told me to suspend USB. Though I am not sure how to do that, I did manage to turn off my bluetooth. (If somebody knows how to properly suspend USB please let me know.
Afterwards, powertop told me my fingerprint reader is also drawing power. I am not using it, it's just running. How can I disable it?
when i type lsusb in xterm, i get:
