Nut upsuser - Sep 2007 - How can I setup Ubuntu 7.04 feisty + Udev + Nut + Unitek Ups (megatec) + Usb ????

Hello

I've got an Unitek UPS (650ipE) that use megatec driver ...
I'm running Ubuntu 7.04  with a 2.6.20 kernel  and   nut 2.0.5-1 package

Ubuntu by default use Udev and "hid", "usbhid",
"evdev" kernel modules
are loaded automatically

The UPS is detected on system level but "upsdrvctl"  can't access 
to
the device ...

Does anyone could give me an hand ?
I'm very frustraded because the device is detected :( ....

Regards

The megatec driver only supports UPSes connected through the serial
port, not USB. If you have a serial port available and your UPS also
has this kind of connection, it should work though.

For USB, the megatec_usb driver available in NUT 2.2.0 may support your UPS.
