I would run tcpdump and record and examine the SNMP traffic, and turn on<br>
debugging in the driver. It is likely that the SNMP queries for status<br>
are not doing what the driver author expected. You'll have to find out<br>
if your UPS has different variables. snmpwalk may also be useful, or<br>
docs.<br>
