[Nut-upsuser] Gentoo Ultra USB UPS

[Barry Fawthrop]

Hi all
I recompiled nut and now have newhidups

/etc/init.d/upsd start
 * Caching service dependencies 
...                                                                                     
[ ok ]
 * Starting UPS drivers ...
Network UPS Tools - UPS driver controller 2.0.3
Network UPS Tools: New USB/HID UPS driver 0.28 (2.0.3)

No matching USB/HID UPS found
Driver failed to start (exit status=1)
 * Failed to start UPS 
drivers!                                                                                         
[ !! ]
 * ERROR:  Problem starting needed services.
 *         "upsd" was not started.

the upsdrvctl part seems now to move further along ?
