We know that these no-name cheap devices are widely sold.<br>Stop thinking that NUT devs don't want to add support for your specific device.<br>
Our (NUT devs) issue is to add these while not breaking the (10 times more) numerous others!<br>We exposed this and proposed our help... several times.<br><br>Finally,
if you really want to support NUT and Opensource in general, buying
such devices is the opposite way. Prefer to consider NUT friendly

I think I speak for some of the other developers when I say that I don't like to apply random patches that have a high likelihood of breaking other users' configurations. Please code and test a patch that can be selectively enabled. If you need help coding it up, ask on this list.<br>
</blockquote><div><br>still valid!<br>acts being better than words, there is a patch attached (against 2.6.2).<br>this limits the required krauler changes using a flag ("langid_fix") in ups.conf, and does not impact existing ones.<br>

<br>The 2nd condition to accept this patch is to have report from existing blazer_usb->krauler users that confirms everything is still working.<br><br>The 3rd and last condition is that you send HCL report, as mentioned there:<br>
