[Nut-upsuser] USB UPS and FreeBSD

[Daniel O'Connor]

I am looking at the newhid driver for this Pulsar EXtreme here but it gives 
odd results, for example there is no status variable :)

eg
debug level is '2'
Checking device (0463/FFFF) (/dev/usb0//dev/ugen0)

- ProductID: ffff

I get quite a number of IO errors - it seems these come from libusb but I am 
not sure under what circumstances it returns it.

This is a 6.0 machine running NUT 2.0.3 - has anyone been able to connect to a 
USB UPS with FreeBSD?

Thanks.
