[Nut-upsdev] Help on UPS Eaton 5E 850i USB

[Dalibor Musil]

I was unable to setup |nut| on a server for the UPS Eaton 5E with USB
connection. All results what did I get was that driver is not running
and UPS is not recognized. What kind of driver is suitable for me and
what kind of settings? Unit is Eaton 5E.

result of |$ lsusb -v|
