I downloaded the 2.0.5 tar file, configured, make and installed. I also
followed the readme in scripts.hotplug-ng as well. I then ran:
[root]->/usr/local/ups/bin/newhidups  -a ups -DD
Network UPS Tools: 0.28 USB communication driver 0.28 - core 0.30 (2.0.5)

debug level is '2'
Checking device (050D/0375) (001/007)
- VendorID: 050d
- ProductID: 0375
- Manufacturer: unknown
- Product: unknown
- Serial Number: unknown
- Bus: 001
Trying to match device
This particular Belkin device (050d/0375) is not (or perhaps not yet)
supported by newhidups. Try running the driver with the '-x productid=0375'
option. Please report your results to the NUT developer's mailing list.

Device does not match - skipping

Trying to match device
Device does not match - skipping
No appropriate HID device found
No matching HID UPS found

NOTE: the paragraph about Belkin. But this device works when I boot with
Mandriva 2006 using the newhidups driver.

Mandriva is the OS that works. It is CentOS5 that does not.

I have a usb scanner. It is 001 in the directory listing just above this. Let
me know what other information you need.
