Nut upsuser - Sep 2009 - nut is not working anymore after nut and kernel update

Hello,

after an update I've got troubles with nut. It is not able to connect via
usb
to our UPS anymore.  I dont know wether it is the nut update or the 
kernelupdate or both. In any case, it is difficult to get new rpms for 
CentOS. So if someone has an Idea, what I can try to solve this Problem: 
please help.

Atached are relevant information.

Best wishes,

Hubert Krause

this vaguely recall me something, but I can't find any trace.
iirc, this was a USB bug fixed in a later kernel release.

the only way to confirm is to either try the older kernel, or a newer.

cheers,
Arnaud
