I downloaded the 2.0.5 tar file, configured, make and installed. I also followed the readme in scripts.hotplug-ng as well. I then ran: [root]->/usr/local/ups/bin/newhidups -a ups -DD Network UPS Tools: 0.28 USB communication driver 0.28 - core 0.30 (2.0.5) debug level is '2' Checking device (050D/0375) (001/007) - VendorID: 050d - ProductID: 0375 - Manufacturer: unknown - Product: unknown - Serial Number: unknown - Bus: 001 Trying to match device This particular Belkin device (050d/0375) is not (or perhaps not yet) supported by newhidups. Try running the driver with the '-x productid=0375' option. Please report your results to the NUT developer's mailing list. Device does not match - skipping Checking device (0000/0000) (001/001) - VendorID: 0000 - ProductID: 0000 - Manufacturer: unknown - Product: unknown - Serial Number: unknown - Bus: 001 Trying to match device Device does not match - skipping No appropriate HID device found No matching HID UPS found NOTE: the paragraph about Belkin.

Mandriva is the OS that works. It is CentOS5 that does not. I have a usb scanner. It is 001 in the directory listing just above this. Let me know what other information you need.
