[Nut-upsuser] trying to use powerware 3110 USB with NUT

[Kjell Claesson]

Hi John.

In the ups.conf, set port = auto

>From the man file for bcmxcp_usb

8<----------------------------------------------------------------
INSTALLATION
       This driver is not built by default.  You can build it by using
       "make usb", and install it using "make install-usb". Note that
       it will also install other USB drivers.
       You also need to install manually the hotplug files (libhidups 
	and libhid.usermap), generally in etc/hotplug/usb/, to address 
	the permission settings problem. Lastly note that the libhidups 
	file must have execution flag set (ie using chmod +x ...).
--snip---
IMPLEMENTATION
       bcmxcp_usb only supports 1 UPS at this time. You can put the
       "auto" value for port in ups.conf, i.e.:

            [pw3105]

                 driver = bcmxcp_usb

                 port = auto
8<--------------------------------------------------------------

Can not give you any more info.
