[Nut-upsuser] nut 2.2.0 doesn't see MGE Elipse 1200 on FreeBSD 6.2

[Dan Rich]

I'm back to trying to get my MGE Elipse (USB) talking to my FreeBSD
system.  It used to work fine on Linux (quite some time ago), and was
sort-of working with the last release of nut.  The system would see the
UPS, but couldn't get reliable data from it.

Now that I have upgraded to 2.2, I no longer see the UPS at all with
nut.  The usbdevs command shows it:

    drich at morpheus|505> sudo usbdevs -v
    ...
    Controller /dev/usb1:
    addr 1: high speed, self powered, config 1, EHCI root hub(0x0000), nVidia(0x0000), rev 1.00
     port 1 addr 2: high speed, self powered, config 1, USB2.0 Hub(0x0606), vendor 0x05e3(0x05e3), rev 7.02
      port 1 addr 3: low speed, power 20 mA, config 1, ellipse(0xffff), MGE UPS SYSTEMS(0x0463), rev 0.01
      port 2 addr 4: full speed, self powered, config 1, Standard USB Hub(0x3301), vendor 0x03eb(0x03eb), rev 3.00
       port 1 addr 5: full speed, power 100 mA, config 1, USB-Serial Controller(0x2303), Prolific Technology Inc.(0x067b), rev 3.00
       port 2 addr 6: full speed, power 100 mA, config 1, USB-Serial Controller(0x2303), Prolific Technology Inc.(0x067b), rev 3.00
       port 3 addr 7: full speed, power 100 mA, config 1, USB-Serial Controller(0x2303), Prolific Technology Inc.(0x067b), rev 3.00
       port 4 addr 8: full speed, power 100 mA, config 1, USB-Serial Controller(0x2303), Prolific Technology Inc.(0x067b), rev 3.00
      port 3 powered
      port 4 addr 9: full speed, power 86 mA, config 1, Bluetooth USB Adapter(0xb02a), vendor 0x07b8(0x07b8), rev 5.25
     port 2 powered
     port 3 powered
     port 4 powered
     port 5 powered
     port 6 powered
     port 7 powered
     port 8 powered
      

But when I try and start the drivers nothing shows up:

    drich at morpheus|509> sudo /usr/local/libexec/nut/usbhid-ups -a elipse1200 -DDDDD Network UPS Tools: 0.28 USB communication driver 0.28 - core 0.30 (2.2.0)

    debug level is '5'
    No appropriate HID device found
    No matching HID UPS found
      

My ups.conf file has the same thing it had in the old days when it was
working, with the exception of changing it to use the new usbhid-ups driver:

    [elipse1200]
            driver = usbhid-ups
            port = auto
            desc = "morpheus Elipse Premium 1200"
      

Does anyone have any thoughts as to the magic incantation to get this
working?
