Here's the program: http://lists.alioth.debian.org/pipermail/nut-upsdev/2006-November/001292.html You should be able to build it with the following command: $ gcc -o get_descriptor get_descriptor.c -lusb (after installing the packages listed above) Assuming that 'lsusb -v' (run as root) returns the same information as Juan Pablo Valles posted on 5/30/2011, I think you'll need to run it as follows: # ./get_descriptor <bus> <device> 1 0 0 128 0x22 0 <bus> and <device> are from the line of lsusb output which matches your UPS. Juan, if you would like to try the same program, that would also be useful to compare results. -- - Charles Lepple _______________________________________________ Nut-upsuser mailing list [email protected] http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/nut-upsuser
