[Nut-upsuser] Network Management Card (MGE) 66102 with snmp-ups

[Arnaud Quette]

Hi Lars,

looking at your answer, I've just realized that you're running a 66102 card.
these are the new one, with a bit of SNMP (mostly for backward
compatibility with Network Management Systems, like HP OV, and the
like).

the "real" protocol is the MGE XML.

The bad news: there is no support at the present for this protocol.
The good news: we are considering the release of a spec, and the
development of an mge-xml driver. It's simply a matter of developper
time.

As a side note, we have just released a release candidate of the new
Network Shutdown Module v3, which is the proprietary client for this
kind of card.
It's really an excellent and powerfull product, and moreover based
upon lots of FLOSS (wxWidgets, PHP, lighttpd, sqlite, openssl, XML):

can you also post the output of "upsc ups1 at localhost", after having
started both the driver and upsd.

thanks,
Arnaud
