[snip]

I noticed in the Makefile.am you flagged this driver as broken. What  
is the reason for not flagging the driver itself 'broken_driver = 1'  
as well, so that people that still use it will be warned why it  
doesn't work anymore by the time we release nut-2.4?

Looking at the comments in the driver about the problems with 2.6.x  
kernels I wouldn't be too heartbroken if we would drop it from the  
stable tree by the way. Being the only driver that uses hiddev and the  
aforementioned comment (and how this problem was 'fixed' in the  
driver) lead me to believe that this won't be a great loss to NUT.

Best regards, Arjen
