Yes, as far as I can tell there's nothing incorrect about the USB
connection, only with the HID driver connecting to the device.

Nope, there's two separate devices : a BackUPS 500 (tiny) and a
Smart UPS 1500 (much larger)

The tiny one works, the much more expensive larger one does not.

Unfortunately, neither is the case.

The SmartUPS is on a system in Japan, it's never seen a BackUPS before.
The BackUPS is on a system in Canada, it's never seen a SmartUPS before.

I'm going to start learning about how the internals of hotplug work,
I guess, because although the hid device is being loaded, it's not
connecting to the UPS :(
