Nut upsdev - Dec 2012 - ArchLinux, kernel 3.7.1, nut-2.6.5. Important messages at boot avoiding Eaton 5PX to get working

Hello,

Since yesterday I try to make my Eaton 5PX 1500i RT2U work with nut.
Clearly impossible :

Network UPS Tools - UPS driver controller 2.6.5-Unversioned directory
Network UPS Tools - Generic HID driver 0.37 (2.6.5-Unversioned directory)
USB communication driver 0.31
No matching HID UPS found
Driver failed to start (exit status=1)

I've had a look at dmesg, and found this :
[    9.224361] hid-generic 0003:0463:FFFF.0001: collection stack overflow
[    9.224374] hid-generic 0003:0463:FFFF.0001: item 0 1 0 10 parsing failed
[    9.224389] hid-generic: probe of 0003:0463:FFFF.0001 failed with error
-22

I rolled back to kernel 3.6.10. Nut still doesn't work.

I've checked the compatibility for my ups and nut, it's supported.

I just really dunno what to do :(

Thanks for your help,

Eric

This shouldn't matter - the NUT USB drivers try to get the Linux HID drivers
out of the picture completely (hid-generic, in this case).

What is more enlightening is the rest of the output of usbhid-ups as it starts
up. If the log fragment you sent in your other email is all there is, add
another "-D", but there should have been a termination message.
