[Nut-upsuser] Tripplite OmniPlus1000LCD Problem on VIA system

[Craig Van Degrift]

I have two computers running Ubuntu 8.04 with all updates.  One with EHCI and 
OHCI host controllers recognizes my Tripplite OmniPlus1000LCD UPS, but the 
other (VIA chipset) with EHCI and UHCI does not.  When I compiled the kernel 
with USB debugging enabled, I could see that the handoff from EHCI to the low 
speed UHCI controller was failing leading to endless looping as the EHCI was 
repeated retried.

Should the difference between OCHI and UHCI really matter in this case?  I 
thought both supported USB 1.0 and USB 1.1 protocols, but I am quite fuzzy on 
such matters.

I have compiled and installed the newer 2.2.1-2 nut usbhid-ups driver, but 
this problem prevents me from even getting the OmniPlus1000LCD registered by 
the USB low level drivers.  lsusb does not show it.

Any ideas?
