In accordance, hiddev support has been disabled as of 2.4.25/2.6.2. So you only need to replace, in ups.conf: - "hidups" by "newhidups" - "/dev/usb/hiddevX" by "auto" and things should be fine. Lastly note: - that this new driver is still experimental, and I'm working on improvements for it (interrupt support, enhancement, hotplug and udev rules), so your feedback is encouraged, - you'll need to add "pollinterval=15" (or more) in ups.conf to avoid repetitive staleness, - MGE officially support NUT and OpenSource, so you should use the above opensource address for support, or nut ones (hidups and ups mailing lists), - newhidups is included in Mdk 10 through nut-1.4.2 package.
