Nut upsuser - Feb 2006 - bcmxcp_usb driver with PW5110

Hi,

I have got a Powerware 5110 UPS which has a usb interface on it.  I have
downloaded and compiled nut-2.0.3-pre2 with the usb drivers enabled on
RedHat Enterprise V3 however I have been unable to get nut to connect to the
UPS.  I have tried executing the driver directly (using bcmxcp_usb -DD -u
root /proc/bus/usb/002/002) as well as using upsdrvctl with the port set to
auto (am I correct in using /proc/bus/usb/002/002 as the device given the
UPS is at this address?).  Here is the relevant output from lsusb:

Also the kernel reports the following when the device is connected:

usb.c: USB device 2 (vend/prod 0x592/0x2) is not claimed by any active
driver.

Which to me indicates that something is wrong with the kernel/usb driver
configuration, however I'm not sure what driver I should be using for the
device (or should I not worry because it is a userland driver)?

Anyway any help would be much appreciated.

Regards,
Alistair

Hi Alistair,

Have you installed the hotplug scripts ?

ls -al /proc/bus/usb/001/002  (or 002/002) if that is the node.
Should return something like this.

-rw-r--r-- 1 nut usb 52  8 feb 17.14 /proc/bus/usb/001/002

What is the kernel wersion?

Yes it is a userland driver so no kernel driver would claim the device.
