This is just to let the list know that I have had success getting my FC3 system talking to my USB PW3105. I used nut 2.0.3 and recompiled from source so as to get the bcmxcp_usb driver. After that it was just a matter of following the (very good) INSTALL instructions provided in the tarball. Although I haven't got the hotplug scripts working yet (the samples provided are not a good fit on a FC3 system) I got around this by setting the perms (640) and ownership (nut:nut) manually for both /dev/ttyS1 and /proc/bus/usb/xxx/yyy (xxx/yyy obtained from lsusb). I suspect I will have to redo this last step after every reboot but that's not real prob as reboots happen very infrequently (even more so now I have this UPS hopefully). I will post the new hotplug scripts/instructions once I work it out. I also grabbed the /etc/sysconfig/ups and /etc/init.d/ups from the nut 2.0.2 fc3 rpm on rpmfind for system V startup - they required very little hacking to work with the recompiled version. People are welcome to email me at [EMAIL PROTECTED] if they need more detail.
