Nut upsuser - Aug 2009 - Cannot get Tripplite su2200xla working on freebsd 7.1 nut 2.4.1

All:

I am having a devil of a time getting nut to work on freebsd. Here is what I
have done. I am trying to load the drivers, and here is my ups.conf file:

[tripplite]
 driver=trippliteesu
 port=auto

When I dmesg on freebsd 7.1 for my usb device:

uhid0: <Tripp Lite TRIPP LITE UPS, class 0/0, rev 1.10/0.00, addr 2> on
uhub0

using the usbdevs -v command:

Controller /dev/usb0:
addr 1: full speed, self powered, config 1, UHCI root hub(0x0000),
VIA(0x0000), rev 1.00
 port 1 addr 2: low speed, self powered, config 1, TRIPP LITE UPS(0x4003),
Tripp Lite(0x09ae), rev 0.00

I have tried usbhid-ups, tripplite_usb, and tripplite_esu with varying
combinations of port, driver, and vendorid (4003 and 09ae). I have tried
using -u root -DDDD nothing works, I have tried using the -x options, still
fails. I really am at wits end on how to even get this thing working.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. Even better a working ups.conf file,
and startup scripts would be welcome.

Thomas

I would bet the problem is that uhid is picking it up and the NUT driver 
uses libusb which requires ugen to attach to it (except in 8.0 where 
libusb is part of base and can attach to any device).

A quick test would be to not load uhid and plug the UPS in, you should 
then see ugen grab it. After that NUT should work (you will need to 
chown the device node for it though as NUT runs as non-root by 
default).

If that does work then do a send-pr with your usbdevs -v output and ask 
for the UPS to be blacklisted from uhid.
