[Nut-upsdev] Belkin F6C100-UNV + newhidups

[Peter Selinger]

That is highly strange. Here is the literal source code from
nut-2.0.5 (file drivers/belkin-hid.c):

      if (getval("productid")) {
         return 1;
      } else {
         upsdebugx(1,
"This particular Belkin device (%04x/%04x) is not (or perhaps not yet)\n"
"supported by newhidups. Try running the driver with the '-x productid=%04x'\n"
"option. Please report your results to the NUT developer's mailing list.\n",
                   hd->VendorID, hd->ProductID, hd->ProductID);
         return 0;
      }

So if productid is set, then this error message should never be printed. 
Strange...

Aha! You wrote

/lib/nut/newhidups -D 3 -x productid=0910 /dev/usb/hiddev0

This is wrong, because the "-D" option does not take an argument.
Therefore, NUT considers "3" to be the device name, and ignores
everything following. What you wrote in ups.conf does not matter in
this case, since you did not define a device called "3". 

Just do it without the "3" and it should work fine. If you need more
debugging output, try -DD instead of -D. 

I will go and fix the main() function so that this does not happen
again.
