Not yet, since I don't think we already reached a consensus on which devices should go into which script. Basically, there are three categories: 1) valid VID:PID that uniquely matches a UPS 2) valid VID:PID that uniquely matches a USB to serial converter 3) bogus VID:PID Only for #1 there is no discussion that we can safely put this in the hotplug/udev/HAL scripts. Regarding #2 and #3, it is questionable since a device showing up with this VID:PID combination *might* be a UPS, but it could also be something totally different. I know of at least one non-UPS device (a GPS) that uses a VID:PID combination that is in category #2. I don't think we should use these in the HAL script and I'm uncertain if it is a good idea to use it in the hotplug/udev scripts. Putting them in risks that we're setting the device up for NUT (while it is something else) and not putting them in will probably lead to many questions on the mailinglist why device X worked in nut-2.2.2 and no longer works for nut-2.4.0.
