Arnaud,

Any idea when those committed powercom specs will be incorporated?  I'm 
eagerly awaiting them -- if there's a cvs snapshot or something I can 
check out I can help you with testing.

There is some breakage in the status page's reporting of SNMP cards, which 
seems to me to be snmp-ups's fault.  Input, output and load all show as
"0.0 Not supported Not supported" for the single-phase Smart-UPS 3000
RM
that I'm testing this out on.

This seems to be because the driver is reporting 0.0 for the L1-L2 values, 
even though it's a single-phase UPS, so the status page tries to use them.  
That's where the "0.0" in the report comes from.  However, the
driver
doesn't provide any L2-L3 or L3-L1 values, and that's where the two
"Not
supported" come from.

I would argue that the driver should only report three-phase values for a
three-phase UPS, with only the single-phase variables being available for
single-phase UPSes.

(Previous versions of the status page (e.g. 2.0.4-pre1) display correctly, 
because they don't know to try the three-phase variables.)

I'll try to find time to produce a patch, though it may be a few days.

on a related note, the driver still incorrectlygets the firmware 
revision
ups.firmware: 00.91
that is the firmware rev in the serial multiport card, not the ups. all 
the details in the previous thread about that quite some time ago...
