Yes, that is useful info. The "infinite loop" is of course normal; it
means that the driver is functioning and reading data from the UPS. 
I would be very concerned if it suddenly stopped.

I will have a look at the "Path:" lines and refine the driver later
(right now I am, as usual, traveling). 

Meanwhile, you can try running it without the -x generic -x
vendorid=09ae options and see what happens. 

Once the driver is running, you should also run upsd, and then use
upsc to display info from the UPS. You can follow the installation
instructions.

P.S. please keep this discussion on the mailing list (i.e., "reply to
all").
