As a first test, start upsd (let us know if you need more details, but this depends on how your OS/distribution packages things up) and then run the usbhid-ups driver manually, as root, with an extra option: path/to/usbhid-ups -u root -x productid=d005 -a name-of-ups If everything is the same under the hood, you can add "productid=d005" to ups.conf. You will also want to copy the line in /etc/udev/52-nut-usbups.rules that looks like this: ATTR{idVendor}=="04d8", ATTR{idProduct}=="d004", MODE="664", GROUP="nobody" and change the "d004" to "d005". If that works, let us know and we will add it to the driver. -- Charles Lepple clepple@gmail _______________________________________________ Nut-upsuser mailing list [email protected] http://lists.alioth.debian.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/nut-upsuser
