[Nut-upsuser] Eaton Powerware 5110 UPS

[Kjell Claesson]

Hi John,

I don't think PW5110 is a hid device.

Make this entry into the 'ups.conf'
---------------------------
[pw5110]
    driver = bcmxcp_usb
    port = auto
    shutdown_delay = 60
    desc = "USB ups"
-----------------------------

Then try to run the driver like this
( You may give the full path or cd to the
driver directory)

bcmxcp_usb -DD -a pw5110 -u root

And report back if you get some response.

Regards
Kjell
