[Nut-upsuser] suse linux and nut

[Peter Selinger]

Dear Marc,

first, the 'powercom' driver is a serial driver, so it will not work
for USB. 

Second, newhidups does not currently support Powercom. The reason is
simple: this is (as far as I remember) the first time we are seeing a
Powercom USB device. It might not be too difficult to add support for
it to NUT (or it might be very difficult - too early to know).
To find out requires some effort on your part:

* get the latest development version of NUT from SVN. You can follow
  the instructions at http://www.networkupstools.org/source.html under
  "Development tree" to get it.

* send the output of 

  drivers/newhidups -DD -u root -x generic -x vendorid=0d9f auto

  from this newest NUT version.

This will help us determine whether your device is a HID device, and
if yes, how to support it. Thanks, -- Peter
