[Nut-upsdev] nut + usb + udev with kernel 2.6.22

[Gilad Arnold]

Hi Vamp,

Thanks for the reply. Your patch indeed works, but wouldn't it be too
permissive in the general case? I mean, we need to cover two specific
cases, whereas this patch will accept possibly other cases (whenever
SUBSYSTEM starts with 'usb', and regardless of ENV{DEVTYPE}).

In any case, I believe that the udev rules that ship with nut need to be
upgrades to work in any of the above situations. How should this be
pursued?
