Nut upsuser - Jan 2008 - powerware 3110 USB

Hello,
I am attempting to monitor my two Powerware 3110 UPS from Gentoo Linux
using nut-2.2.0, kernel-2.6.22.1 via USB. From what I can gather around
the net (circa 2005) things with USB on this UPS just didn't work. Has
this changed and is there anything I can do to help?

My ups.conf contains the following...

[ups-router]
        driver = usbhid-ups
        port = auto
        desc = "Powerware 3110 - Router"

[ups-server]
        driver = usbhid-ups
        port = auto
        desc = "Powerware 3110 - Server"


and upsdrvctl start reveals the following...

Network UPS Tools - UPS driver controller 2.2.0
Network UPS Tools: 0.28 USB communication driver 0.28 - core 0.30
(2.2.0)

No matching HID UPS found
Driver failed to start (exit status=1)
Network UPS Tools: 0.28 USB communication driver 0.28 - core 0.30
(2.2.0)

No matching HID UPS found
Driver failed to start (exit status=1)


Is there anything else I can do to debug this situation?

There is a fix (committed today) in the trunk. So if you can grab
the code from svn (trunk) and build it.

I can not garanti that it works. But as you say

You can test this out for us.

The ups.conf should look like this.

 [ups-router]
         driver = bcmxcp_usb
         port = auto
         desc = "Powerware 3110 - Router"

I use Gentoo also. I have a patched nut-2.2.1.tar.gz so I
copied the /usr/portage/sys-power/nut to overlay,
and copied the nut-2.2.0.ebuild to nut-2.2.1.ebuild.

This is fare more simple than building from svn as
you need to set all the config parameters to get it installed
in the right place.
