[Nut-upsuser] no USB/HID UPS found?

[Kristian Rink]

Hello world;

been using nut atop Debian GNU/Linux (sid) for about two years by now,
my configuration broke as I upgraded the machine this morning (headin'
for kernel 2.6 to have full support for the new GBE NIC included). I
read through the UPGRADE.gz instructions provided with the Debian
packages and tried to fix things according to the instructions pointed
out there, but things still just don't work. Facts:

- machine:
	FSC Primergy Server, Broadcom CSB6 OHCI USB Controller
	2x APC Smart-UPS 1500, connected via USB
	Debian GNU/Linux (sid, up-to-date), kernel 2.6.16.18



* the nut package can't be started anymore:

backer:~# /etc/init.d/nut stop
Stopping Network UPS Tools: (upsdrvctl failed) upsd upsmon.



* In the old configuration I was using the hidups driver, now I tried
newhidups, as well - none of them is actually able to find the UPSes
connected:


backer:~# /lib/nut/newhidups -a power2
Network UPS Tools: New USB/HID UPS driver 0.28 (2.0.3)

No matching USB/HID UPS found



backer:~# /lib/nut/newhidups -a power2
Network UPS Tools: New USB/HID UPS driver 0.28 (2.0.3)

No matching USB/HID UPS found



* trying to do some debugging (as I read earlier on that list regarding
a problem somewhat similar):


backer:~# /lib/nut/newhidups -u root -DDDDD auto

Network UPS Tools: New USB/HID UPS driver 0.28 (2.0.3)

So, obviously the devices are there but in some way not usable... Can
anyone point me out where to look to get things working again?

Thanks in advance and bye,
Kris
