W.r.t. to Arnaud's suggestion, yes, I did that in order to get the UPS working in the first place:

pfexec /usr/sbin/add_drv -i '"usb9ae,1008.10"' -m '* 0660 nut ups' ugen

I verified that this is still valid by doing "prtconf -v" which yields (sorry for long output)

The important thing is the 'compatible' entry above, which includes 'usb9ae,1008.10'.

Anyhow, doesn't the fact that

pfexec /opt/nut/2.6.1/bin/usbhid-ups -DD -a eco550 -u root

works fine indicate that the ugen driver is ok?

The uhid -> ugen thing is only part of the problem. I assumed that the "0660 nut ups" part of the command was for permissions, but later you also mentioned another device node:

"Sorry for all these emails: finally, it was a permissions problem on the usb device itself, i.e.

/devices/pci@0,0/pci103c,2a6c@2/*

Thanks very much for all your help."

I have no idea how to get those permissions to stick, though.
