[Nut-upsdev] Krauler UP-M500VA investigation

[Alexander I. Gordeev]

Hi, Peter,

Thanks for the answer! I tried hardly to make it working with
currently available drivers, but it seems to be not supported at all :(
I tried to change vendor id in all subdrivers to correspond to my
hardware, but it didn't help. I've got a lot of messages about missing
reports and objects.
I checked docs/hid-subdrivers.txt also, very informative, thanks for
the link. But what should I do to know these hex values for usages?

That's what I get as an output (with vendorid in subdrivers unchanged):

admin at router:/tmp/harddisk/share/pub/system/development/newbuild/opt/bin> ./newhidups -DD -u admin -x vendorid=0001 /dev/usb/hid/hiddev0
Network UPS Tools: New USB/HID UPS driver 0.28 (2.0.4)

No appropriate HID device found

UPS is the last one for sure.
By the way, option '-x generic' is not implemented.
