Not only that, but we also shouldn't support (though HAL addons) legitimate VID:PID combinations if these do not uniquely identify a supported UPS. For instance, 0665:5161 could be a supported UPS (megatec_usb). But since this really is the ID of a generic USB to serial controller, it could just as well be a GPS or a coffee machine. Or even worse, a UPS using a different protocol. The only way to set these systems up, is through a configuration file, which makes them unsuitable for automatic setup. > It's supposed to be a zero-configuration system, and if someone > doesn't have a legitimate VID:PID, there is the potential for > requiring a configuration option to disable that combination later. Indeed.
