                My understanding is that you shouldn't need to be
                concerned with<br>
                that-- NUT uses libusb-0.1, which is emulated in FreeBSD
                with<br>
                libusb20.  Thus changing the version to link with makes
                no sense.<br>

          OK, so back to square one... I guess testing the UPS on a
          currently supported is the next most sensible step, then - at
          least to determine if the driver really works with the

      the good is that it's a HID device, as you've guessed, supported
      by usbhid-ups.<br clear="all">
      though the device has a bad/buggy implementation:<br>
      - vendorid/productid,<br>
      - and the main "UPS", coded as 00860004 instead of 00840004.<br>

    <br></div></div>
    I patched your drivers/libhid.c and recompiled, which atleast
    allowed the incorrect code to be recognised as 'UPS'. Obviously, not
    enough to get things working...<div class="im"><br>

      the bad news is the I/O errors: until it's fixed, we're stuck!<br>
      you should still be able to force compilation/link against the
      actual libusb 0.1 (ie not 2.0 compat), and should really do it.<br>

    Can't figure out how to do this and, in the light of Chris's
