Hi all, first message to the list. :-)
I've got an iBox made by iDowell:
http://store.apple.com/uk/product/TR423ZM/A
This seems to be similar to the smaller Microdowell UPS:
http://idowell.eu/
I cannot get it recognised by the drivers. This is what I get when I plug in
the USB connector:
Jan 3 19:27:26 compaq kernel: usb 3-2: new low speed USB device using
uhci_hcd and address 47

Jan 3 19:27:42 compaq kernel: usb 3-2: USB disconnect, address 47
The device keeps disconnecting and reconnecting with a higher numerical
address each time.
I have set up this udev rule in /etc/udev/rules.d/70-nut-usbups.rules:
# iDowell iBox USB
ATTR{idVendor}=="075d", ATTR{idProduct}=="0300",
SYMLINK+="iDowell",
MODE="664", GROUP="nut"
When I try to start the upsd I get:
# /etc/init.d/upsd restart
* Starting upsd ...
Network UPS Tools upsd 2.4.3
listening on 127.0.0.1 port 3493
Can't connect to UPS [iDowell] (usbhid-ups-iDowell): No such file or
directory

The driver(s) is not successful.

This is what my /etc/nut/ups.conf contains:
[iDowell]
driver = microdowell
# port = auto
port = /dev/iDowell
# manufacturer = iDowell
# vendorid = 075d
desc = "iBox by iDowell"
I am not sure if the problem is with the drivers I have been using or
something else, like my udev rule, access rights, etc.
# ls -la /dev/iDowell
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 15 Jan 3 19:38 /dev/iDowell -> bus/usb/003/091
(BTW, I don't seem to have a dev/hiddev0 or similar that I thought the iBox
would be recognised as).
# ls -la /etc/nut/

Is there some other driver, or anything else I could use to get it going?
