That was the *full* line from the logs, except the syslog timestamp.

Now, I've done the upgrade, after a few adjustments to the ports Makefile I will submit the patches to the FreeBSD ports collection, so everyone can make use of 2.2.1. The problem is still there, after a few hours all the UPSes become stale, and just nothing happens until I restart the driver processes. some information from the UPSes (we've got two from the same model): # upsc ups1 battery.charge: 100 battery.charge.low: 10 battery.charge.warning: 50 battery.date: 2001/09/25 battery.mfr.date: 2004/09/04 battery.runtime: 1740 battery.runtime.low: 600 battery.type: PbAc battery.voltage: 26.6 battery.voltage.nominal: 24.0 driver.name: usbhid-ups driver.parameter.pollfreq: 30 driver.parameter.pollinterval: 2 driver.parameter.port: auto driver.parameter.productid: 0002 driver.parameter.serial: JB0436038663 driver.parameter.vendorid: 051d driver.version: 2.2.1 driver.version.data: APC HID 0.92 driver.version.internal: 0.32 input.transfer.high: 264 input.transfer.low: 194 input.voltage: 230.0 input.voltage.nominal: 230 ups.beeper.status: enabled ups.delay.shutdown: -1 ups.firmware: 8.g8 .I ups.firmware.aux: g8 ups.load: 70 ups.mfr: American Power Conversion ups.mfr.date: 2004/09/04 ups.model: Back-UPS RS 1500 ups.productid: 0002 ups.serial: JB0436038663 ups.status: OL ups.test.result: No test initiated ups.vendorid: 051d # upsc ups2 battery.charge: 100 battery.charge.low: 10 battery.charge.warning: 50 battery.date: 2001/09/25 battery.mfr.date: 2004/09/04 battery.runtime: 64800 battery.runtime.low: 120 battery.type: PbAc battery.voltage: 26.6 battery.voltage.nominal: 24.0 driver.name: usbhid-ups driver.parameter.pollfreq: 30 driver.parameter.pollinterval: 2 driver.parameter.port: auto driver.parameter.productid: 0002 driver.parameter.serial: JB0436038664 driver.parameter.vendorid: 051d driver.version: 2.2.1 driver.version.data: APC HID 0.92 driver.version.internal: 0.32 input.transfer.high: 264 input.transfer.low: 194 input.voltage: 230.0 input.voltage.nominal: 230 ups.beeper.status: enabled ups.delay.shutdown: -1 ups.firmware: 8.g8 .I ups.firmware.aux: g8 ups.load: 0 ups.mfr: American Power Conversion ups.mfr.date: 2004/09/04 ups.model: Back-UPS RS 1500 ups.productid: 0002 ups.serial: JB0436038664 ups.status: OL ups.test.result: No test initiated ups.vendorid: 051d I've checked the logs, but there's nothing before/after the messages that is become stale, no USB errors, no driver notices, nothing at all.
