Hi Gene,
This device should be supported by the usbhid-ups driver.
That seems not to be part of the 2.6.30-rcX kernels.
The current .config has:
CONFIG_USB_HID=y
CONFIG_USB_HIDDEV=y
CONFIG_HID_BELKIN=y
I should have been more specific - usbhid-ups is a user-mode driver in
NUT. It uses libusb to kick the kernel's USB HID driver off of the
device, and it uses /dev/bus/usb (I forget the kernel driver name) to
speak the HID protocol.
I can probably dig out anything else that might be helpful.
Usually you
would look this up in the data/drivers.list file, but it doesn't look
like the lsusb output is terribly helpful for that (Belkin seems to
change the underlying hardware while keeping the model name the
same).
Which model do you have?
The NUT "README" file, while not specific to Fedora, should have the
rest of the info needed to set this up. (Perhaps someone with Fedora
10 experience can suggest whether the "classic" driver or the HAL
driver would be better.) If I had to guess, I'd say the README is
in /
usr/share/doc/nut.

It might help, if it was there:
[r...@coyote ~]# locate 'nut/README'
[r...@coyote ~]#
[r...@coyote ~]# cd `locate 'nut/'`
[r...@coyote cur]# ls
1243795177.4479.gANVC:2,RS 1243799859.4479.0TdwL
1243813905.4479.2izhm
[r...@coyote cur]# pwd
/root/Mail/nut/cur
[r...@coyote cur]#
I don't believe it exists in the rpms. Next?
Sounds to me like a bug in the package.
We're trying to overhaul the documentation, so the website is a little
behind. But this should apply:
http://www.networkupstools.org/doc/2.2.0/README.html
(please keep the list CC'd via reply-all - thanks!)
