[Nut-upsuser] Eaton Powerware 5110 UPS - progress of sorts

[Kjell Claesson]

Hi John.

Yes this is a small glitch in the code.

The iproduct an imanufacturer code i different on all
powerware usb ups. So you have to remove this test.

Open the file 'nut_usb.c' in the drivers directory.
Go down to around line 63 it looks like this.

-------------------------------------------------
{
/* XXX Check for POWERWARE 3105 or 3110 ... other models??? */
if (dev->descriptor.bDeviceClass == USB_CLASS_PER_INTERFACE &&
    (dev->descriptor.idVendor == 0x0592 ||
     dev->descriptor.idVendor == 0x06da) &&
    dev->descriptor.idProduct == 0x0002 &&
    dev->descriptor.iManufacturer == 1 &&
    dev->descriptor.iProduct == 2)
return usb_open(dev);
}
----------------------------------------------------

Remove the iManufacturer and iProduct line so it looks
like this.

---------------------------------------------------
{
/* XXX Check for POWERWARE 3105 or 3110 ... other models??? */
if (dev->descriptor.bDeviceClass == USB_CLASS_PER_INTERFACE &&
    (dev->descriptor.idVendor == 0x0592 ||
     dev->descriptor.idVendor == 0x06da) &&
    dev->descriptor.idProduct == 0x0002)
return usb_open(dev);
}
---------------------------------------------------

Now rebuild the driver and it should find the ups.

Regards
Kjell
