[Nut-upsuser] Tripp Lite 2010 results

[Matt Behrens]

Hi all,

As requested by upsdrvctl, I'm reporting on my results connecting a 
Tripp Lite UPS (G1010USB).  This server is running on Ubuntu Lucid, nut 
version is 2.4.3-1ubuntu3.1.

With ups.conf:

[ups]
driver = usbhid-ups
port = auto

Results:
# upsdrvctl start
Network UPS Tools - UPS driver controller 2.4.3
Network UPS Tools - Generic HID driver 0.34 (2.4.3)
USB communication driver 0.31
This TrippLite device (09ae:2010) is not (or perhaps not yet) supported
by usbhid-ups. Please make sure you have an up-to-date version of NUT. If
this does not fix the problem, try running the driver with the
'-x productid=2010' option. Please report your results to the NUT user's
mailing list <nut-upsuser at lists.alioth.debian.org>.

I am still trying to work through some permissions issues though at this 
time.  Namely:
