Tried agiler-old, which failed the same way as the default subdriver. Output from krauler:

	Checking device (0F03/0001) (001/008)

Again, there were five attempts to make a connection and all of them failed. Disconnecting and reconnecting the UPS did not help. This is somewhat strange. Are there any more subdrivers to try?
