Yes. I've downloaded new version of nut and compiled it but it gave no result. I tried all *usb drivers:
my simple usb.conf:
[BNT2000]
driver = blazer_usb
#driver = bcmxcp_usb
#driver = nutdrv_atcl_usb
#driver = richcomm_usb
#driver = riello_usb
#driver = tripplite_usb
port = auto
desc = "POWERCOM BNT-2000AP"

And here is the results:
# bcmxcp_usb -a BNT2000 -DDD
Network UPS Tools - BCMXCP UPS driver 0.31 (2.7.4)
USB communication subdriver 0.22

0.000682 Can't open POWERWARE USB device
0.000686 Can't open POWERWARE USB device
Unable to find POWERWARE UPS device on USB bus (USB)
Things to try:
- Connect UPS device to USB bus
- Run this driver as another user (upsdrvctl -u or 'user=...' in ups.conf).
See upsdrvctl(8) and ups.conf(5).

He said that he use nut 2.7.4, but as you can see, the driver has version 2.4.1. Unfortunately I can't make nut 2.4.1 yet to try this version of driver, I'll continue my attempts on this week.
