UPS issues in 6.2 -- still not fixed
So I've been expecting that at some point the UPS stuff might finally get fixed. It's still busted in 6.2 so it's time to get serious about debugging it. I am using OS6 on Legacy hardware, so I can...
Just one more follow-up. If I edit /etc/nut/ups.conf to comment out the serial number of the UPS, at least the driver comes up now. It looks like the S/N detection code for the UPS serial number that was written in the configuration is broken, which makes quite a bit of sense given that it only appears to be a netgear problem and works fine on my local linux box (where there is no s/n, vendor id, or product id in the config file at all).
root@waystation:/lib/nut# ./usbhid-ups -a UPS
Network UPS Tools - Generic HID driver 0.38 (2.7.2)
USB communication driver 0.32
Using subdriver: APC HID 0.95
root@waystation:/lib/nut# cat /etc/nut/ups.conf
[UPS]
driver = usbhid-ups
port = auto
#dashboard: ups_model =
#dashboard: ups_mfr =
#dashboard: ups_mfr_date =
# serial = BB0100009999
vendorid = 051d
productid = 0002
I cannot speak to the rest of the UPS code working yet, but at least the driver is working properly. Hope this helps!
