I recently found myself the owner of an APC UPS that talks over USB. I installed apcupsd and disabled uhidev(4) with config(8) so that it would instead show up as ugen(4) as noted in the apcupsd docs. The dmesg lines below are both against a -stable GENERIC, and are not cumulative.
Now I am looking to attach other USB items - camera, keyboard, mouse - that would undoubtedly require uhidev to work. I have tried several different methods to get things to cooperate, without success. I suspect that I have two options, but at this point I don't know how to accomplish either. A) Specifically configure ONLY the ugen0 device. B) Disable uhidev ONLY where the ugen0 needs to be found. Suggestions are welcome; thanks in advance. --david # disable uhidev # ugen0 at uhub0 port 1 ugen0: APC Back-UPS ES 750 FW:819.z2.D USB FW:z2, rev 1.10/1.06, addr 2 ugen1 at uhub0 port 2 ugen1: Canon Inc.
