You'll have to make a small bit of work yourself, but it's quite easy and you won't regret it ;-) According to your results, I'll update the compatibility info...

please, keep the dev list cc'ed! Also look for post on newhidups and read the docs/hid-subdrivers.txtdocument. You'll find some instructions on the dev list archive: https://alioth.debian.org/mail/?group_id=30602 Be sure to subscribe to this list before posting. 2005/10/20, Scott Alfter <scott@alfter.us>:> > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- > Hash: SHA1 > > Arnaud Quette wrote: > > try using newhidups if possible as it will replace hidups. > > the best is to retrieve the development cvs, call newhidups > > in debug level 2 (ie "newhidups -DDDDD auto") and send back > > the tree dumped to add support for these models. > > It took a bit more work to cobble together a live-CVS ebuild (as it was, I > had > to modify an older ebuild to pull v2.0.2), but once I did, I got this > result: > > Network UPS Tools: New USB/HID UPS driver 0.28 (2.1.0) > > debug level is '5' > Checking device (0000/0000) (002/001) > - - VendorID: 0000 > - - ProductID: 0000 > - - Manufacturer: unknown > - - Product: unknown > - - Serial Number: unknown > - - Bus: 002 > Trying to match device > Device does not match - skipping > Checking device (0764/0501) (001/002) > - - VendorID: 0764 > - - ProductID: 0501 > - - Manufacturer: unknown > - - Product: unknown > - - Serial Number: unknown > - - Bus: 001 > Trying to match device > Device does not match - skipping > Checking device (0000/0000) (001/001) > - - VendorID: 0000 > - - ProductID: 0000 > - - Manufacturer: unknown > - - Product: unknown > - - Serial Number: unknown > - - Bus: 001 > Trying to match device > Device does not match - skipping > No appropriate HID device found > No matching USB/HID UPS found > > lsusb lists the following (the UPS is the only USB device connected): > > Bus 002 Device 001: ID 0000:0000 > Bus 001 Device 002: ID 0764:0501 Cyber Power System, Inc. > Bus 001 Device 001: ID 0000:0000 > > Scott Alfter > scott@alfter.us > > -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- > Version: GnuPG v1.4.1 (MingW32) > Comment: Using GnuPG with Thunderbird - http://enigmail.mozdev.org > > iD8DBQFDVuFJVgTKos01OwkRAscoAJ0RsDUUhf/E2QSsTm21ZGDyMsBf0ACg1whu > BsbitTn3VQ7RLcWMPQhdi8o> =2zkS > -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- >Arnaud -- Linux / Unix Expert - MGE UPS SYSTEMS - R&D Dpt Network UPS Tools (NUT) Project Leader - http://www.networkupstools.org/ Debian Developer - http://people.debian.org/~aquette/ OpenSource Developer - http://arnaud.quette.free.fr/ -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
