Also, as Alexander mentioned, that PID/VID is used by UPSes which can
be controlled by megatec_usb. So you can pretty much ignore my
previous comments.

On the other hand, we could add a message to liebert-hid.c that
mentions this PID/VID mess, and suggests trying megatec_usb (not that
it is a sure bet). We have similar code in tripplite-hid.c.
