I don't have the hardware underhand and it's a long week end here inf
France, but:
- the mge-shut driver has lots of lacks. For example, it expose
commands that might be unsupported by the device (that might be your
case). Moreover, the version in 2.0.3 is really buggy.
If you can, test the subversion Testing branch [1],
- I'm rewritting mge-shut, merging it with newhidups core (both are
really similar, and for the same protocol, excluding bus marshalling).
I'm currently focusing on this rewritte (0,001 % of my time), which
will fixes some bugs and lacks, while completing the data table
(including 3 phase). I've today reached a major step, and I think I'll
be able to commit something next week,
- an "ups.test.result" var. is exposed when supported.

Thanks for your patience,
Arnaud
