Greetings:

I've been reading this page in configuring my BackUPS 650ES:

http://www.mscs.dal.ca/~selinger/ups/backups.html

I get the same results using 2.0.5-pre2 as I was with 2.0.4 when I get to
this stage:

root at excalibur:/usr/src/nut-2.0.5-pre2# ./drivers/newhidups -u root -DD -a
apc
Network UPS Tools: 0.28 USB communication driver 0.28 - core 0.30
(2.0.5-pre2)

debug level is '2'
No appropriate HID device found
No matching HID UPS found
root at excalibur:/usr/src/nut-2.0.5-pre2#

When I use hidups, I get results, although they're odd, but at least my
UPS is recognized...

root at excalibur:/usr/src/nut-2.0.5-pre2# ./drivers/hidups -u root -DD -a apc
Network UPS Tools: HID UPS driver 0.13 (2.0.5-pre2)

Warning: This is an experimental driver.
Some features may not function correctly.

debug level is '2'

IS the full release of 2.0.5 likely to solve the issues I'm having with
newhidups?..

Thanks,
Richard.
