I'm back to trying to get my MGE Elipse (USB) talking to my FreeBSD
system. It used to work fine on Linux (quite some time ago), and was
sort-of working with the last release of nut. The system would see the
UPS, but couldn't get reliable data from it.<br>
<br>
Now that I have upgraded to 2.2, I no longer see the UPS at all with
nut. The usbdevs command shows it:<br>
<blockquote>
<pre>drich@morpheus|505> sudo usbdevs -v
...
Controller /dev/usb1:
addr 1: high speed, self powered, config 1, EHCI root hub(0x0000), nVidia(0x0000), rev 1.00

But when I try and start the drivers nothing shows up:<br>
<blockquote>
<pre>drich@morpheus|509> sudo /usr/local/libexec/nut/usbhid-ups -a elipse1200 -DDDDD Network UPS Tools: 0.28 USB communication driver 0.28 - core 0.30 (2.2.0)
debug level is '5'
No appropriate HID device found
No matching HID UPS found
</pre>
</blockquote>
My ups.conf file has the same thing it had in the old days when it was
working, with the exception of changing it to use the new usbhid-ups
driver:<br>
<blockquote>
<pre>[elipse1200]
driver = usbhid-ups
port = auto
desc = "morpheus Elipse Premium 1200"
</pre>
</blockquote>
Does anyone have any thoughts as to the magic incantation to get this
working?<br>
