Nut upsdev - Sep 2010 - Cannot connect to APC Smart via USB under FreeBSD

Hi, folks!
There is FreeBSD 7.1, NUT 2.4.1, UPS APC Smart 2200 XL.

NUT is compiled from ports with following options:
---------------------------------------
_OPTIONS_READ=nut-2.4.1_5
WITH_SERIAL=true
WITH_USB=true
WITH_SNMP=true
WITHOUT_NEON=true
WITHOUT_PDU=true
WITHOUT_HAL=true
WITHOUT_IPV6=true
WITHOUT_CGI=true
---------------------------------------

UPS is successfully recognized by OS kernel at boot-time:
---------------------------------------
# grep -i smart /var/run/dmesg.boot
ugen0: <American Power Conversion Smart-UPS 2200 XL FW:690.17.I USB
FW:7.3, class 0/0, rev 1.10/0.06, addr 2> on uhub0
ugen0: <American Power Conversion Smart-UPS 2200 XL FW:690.17.I USB
FW:7.3, class 0/0, rev 1.10/0.06, addr 2> on uhub0[/code]
---------------------------------------

...and at run-time...
---------------------------------------
# usbdevs -v -d

My configuration:

        driver = usbhid-ups
        port = auto
        vendorid = 051d   # ...the same error with or without this line...
        desc = "UPS1"
---------------------------------------

Any ideas?

I haven't had much with USB UPS comms on FreeBSD before version 8.

I thought there was a 'pollonly' option which I used and that helped but
I can't see it in the docs now.

Stuff in /usr/ports/sysutils/nut/work/ does not contain "pollonly"
word.

GENERIC kernel has both ugen and uhid enabled,
so I'll try to disable uhid, rebuild kernel and reboot.
