Thanks for your prompt reply Jerome.

This is the output you asked for:

$ grep 138a /usr/lib/udev/rules.d/60-fprint-autosuspend.rules
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="138a", ATTRS{idProduct}=="0001", 
ATTRS{dev}=="*", ATTR{power/control}="auto"
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="138a", ATTRS{idProduct}=="0005", 
ATTRS{dev}=="*", ATTR{power/control}="auto"
SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTRS{idVendor}=="138a", ATTRS{idProduct}=="0008", 
ATTRS{dev}=="*", ATTR{power/control}="auto"

Regards,
Germán.
