[Nut-upsdev] megatec_usb not detecting UPS

I have compiled the version of megatec_usb (1.5.9) that comes with the
source of nut 2.2.1 from Debian Testing on Etch... (driver only;
backporting nut 2.2.1 looked a bit daunting not knowing the code (it
didn't compile)). The megatec_usb driver did compile & run OK though on
Etch (apart from timing out rather quickly on USB messages). Ubuntu
Hardy also uses the same version driver (1.5.9)... the driver works fine
on Hardy.

I have a feeling might be USB subsystem related? Guess the USB subsystem
from Etch is different from the one on Hardy... would appreciate some
help in further debugging the issue.
