UPDATE : Dell has released new firmware, software and several different drivers for the fingerprint readers, whihc I have not had time to evaluate yet. I probably won’t try it until they start supporting Windows 8.

Also, I don’t know if this allows you to use the lighter-weight biometric framework version. The catch: you have to follow a specific procedure to uninstall any old versions. As of this update, the latest version (for the e6520) is here: Good news! Dell has quietly released a single installer that takes care of installing all the sub-components correctly, in the correct order (thanks Mark for pointing this out).

Dell really likes ot make it tricky to get the fingerprint reader working when you install Windows from scratch.
