Nut upsuser - Mar 2013 - Power ware 5110 "not the right sequence received"

Hi All,

I have a powerware UPS 5110 connected to an openindiana server with the 
bcmxcp_usb driver and running nut 2.65 compiled and installed as root to 
avoid permission issues.

On running the following debug code to test the UPS's communication it 
fails at the same time with the following error.

    ./bcmxcp_usb -u root -DDD -a 5110

    2.524229     Could not communicate with the ups
    2.524260     CLOSING

Does anyone know if there is a fix for the 2.524187 Communications with 
UPS lost: get_answer: not the right sequence received 19!!! error?

My ups is nothing exciting and just lists the following
[5110]
   driver = bcmxcp_usb
   port = auto


Thankyou
Paul

I am not very familiar with this driver, but it does seem like this has been
patched in the development codebase after 2.6.5 was released:

   http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.monitoring.nut.user/7302 (with a bugfix
for that patch later)

A number of additional BCM/XCP fixes have been rolled into this branch:

   https://github.com/networkupstools/nut/tree/bcmxcp

You can grab a snapshot from that page, or clone via git. Let us know if you
need a snapshot which does not require autoconf and automake.
