Time is not on my side. I have got OMRON BX35F's.

(4.2 GENERIC #338)

/bsd: uhidev1 at uhub3 port 1 configuration 1 interface 0
/bsd:
/bsd: uhidev1: OMRON BX35F, rev 1.10/0.07, addr 2, iclass 3/0
/bsd: uhid0 at uhidev1: input=64, output=16, feature=0

Could please somebody enlighten me if usb upses need any
special treatment from kernel or it is all just about libusb (like
bluetooth afaik)?

I am looking forward to hear from nut-upsdev soon if there is
interest in the hw from their side.

What I have meant here is that I do _NOT_ want to run any
not-in-the-baseXX.tgz TCP services. Whether or not it is practical -
that is another question :)


Sorry for the noise if any.
