I haven't tried 2.2final yet, but 2.2rc3 lacked the hiddev support used by both apcupsd and NUT to talk to UPSes via usb. I wasn't able to get either of them to work with 2.2rc3. Also, the 2.2rc3 source packages were incomplete and so you couldn't re-compile the kernel from the source rpms (neither "as is" kernel nor kernel with hiddev support). I've downloaded the new 2.2final stuff but I simply haven't had a chance to work with it yet -- and unfortunately won't until later this month. The key questions are: (1) does 2.2final have hiddev support out of the box? (2) if not, does the kernel source rpm(s) have what is needed to re-compile a kernel with hiddev support. If the answer to either is yes, both NUT and apcupsd should build in a straightforward way and work with minimal changes.
