[Nut-upsdev] Powercom 600AP USB support

[Balogh Péter]

Hi,

I know it's been a topic many times here, but I've searched the 
archives, googled for days, and I simply don't believe, that there is 
still no solution to this.
I'm using a PowerCom BNT-600AP ups with usb port.

I've downloaded the latest version from svn, compiled it, and tried to 
use it:
* megatec(_usb) - no luck, it did not find the UPS (I’ve read in this 
list, that this driver uses the same protocol)
* usbhid-ups - no information about the battery, only basic information 
about the UPS (it's communicated, so it's a start) (this could be the 
general usb driver?)
* powercom - here is the output of the driver (supposed to be able to 
communicate if cypress_m8 is present)
