I recently bought a Belkin F6H375 UPS. It connects to the computer via USB.
Searching the Internet led me to believe that the megatec_usb driver in nut
supports this UPS, however I've been unable to get it to work.
I have this in ups.conf:
[belkinusb]
driver = megatec_usb
port = auto
desc = "Belkin USB"
Here's what happens when I try to use it:
~ # /usr/local/ups/bin/megatec_usb -DDDDDD -a belkinusb -u root
Network UPS Tools 2.2.1 - Megatec protocol driver 1.5.9 [megatec_usb]

5 out of 5 detection attempts failed (minimum failures: 2).
Megatec protocol UPS not detected.
One thing I noticed is that immediately after booting the machine,
/dev/usb/hiddev0 exists. As soon as I run the megatec_usb command, that
entry disappears.
Since /dev/usb/hiddev0 seems to be related to the UPS somehow, I also tried
using the usbhid-ups driver with the following settings:
[belkinhid]
driver = usbhid-ups
port = /dev/usb/hiddev0
desc = "Belkin USB"
but it didn't detect the UPS either:
~ # /usr/local/ups/bin/usbhid-ups -DDDDDD -a belkinhid -u root

The permissions seem right to me: [root at www drivers]# ll /dev/bus/usb/001 total 0 crw-r--r-- 1 root root 189, 0 2008-01-08 14:16 001 crw-rw-r-- 1 root uucp 189, 1 2008-01-13 21:22 002 The device in question is 002 and these same exact permissions work fine sometimes. I had the above permission setup following my original thread and they worked fine till the last power cut (4 days ago). uucp is the right group since nut is a member of uucp (some Fedora quirk). Thanks for your help.
