There is at least one reason for that - megatec_usb driver now supports automatic reconnection after link fail. This is not a fix. I have several suspects on this subject: 1. hardware. Something could not ok in both UPSes (not very likely) or in the USB host hardware. Try connecting the UPSes to other machines. 2. software It could be everything: kernel, udev, NUT... I think strace-ing megatec_usb can help. -- Alexander _______________________________________________ Nut-upsuser mailing list [email protected] http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/nut-upsuser
