You don't need the 'vendorid' and 'productid' variables here, these are
already supported by the driver. If you do use them, the should be *after*
the '-a foxstarups' since otherwise the contents of 'ups.conf' would
override them. This is not your problem though.

If this is really all you see, the USB bus was not found. This is
something that has it's root cause probably somewhere in a missing
package. Otherwise you would see that the driver would attempt trying to
match USB devices instead, but it isn't.

See above.

This looks fine.

Beats me.
