[Nut-upsuser] Trouble Configuring NUT with Gamatronic USB

[Peter Selinger]

Eli,

Gamatronic is not currently supported by the newhidups driver. You
have two options:

(1) look at the file data/driver.list or
    http://www.networkupstools.org/compat/ to find a serial driver
    that matches your device, and/or

(2) post the output of 

    newhidups -DD -u root -x generic -x vendorid=0925 auto

    and we'll try to see if any USB driver can be modified to support
    this device.
