Yes this is a surprise to me to. But to quote our Eaton guy Arnaud.
"yup, this model is an hybrid one:
the right way is bcmxcp for the serial port or usbhid-ups for the USB

And when I asked where I could put it in the driver.list:
"Eaton, both with the serial (bcmxcp) and usb (usbhid-ups) please."

You got me there, we don't know the VID:PID that it use!
That was a bad mistake. Going to remove the usbhid-ups until it
is confirmed.
