[Nut-upsdev] neon (was libusb_get_string: invalid argument (other usbhid-ups users, please test))

[Greg Hersch]

Thanks - i won't sweat it then... i've now got upsmon running across 3
machines (a router (DDWRT optware), a raspberry pi (raspbian), and the
master archlinux system). and all seems to work well after a few
workarounds. thank you Charles
