[Nut-upsuser] nut with Belkin "Active Battery Backup" UPS (BU30 series)

[Cian Davis]

Hi,
I bought a Belkin Active Battery Backup UPS
(http://www.belkin.com/uk/activebattery/) yesterday with a USB port and
hoped it would work with nut.

The device will show up in /proc/bus/usb/devices as a Cypress
Semiconductor USB to Serial. It creates /dev/hiddev0 (and this
disappears when the UPS is unplugged). I've tried using belkin,
belkinunv, usbhid-ups and megatec_usb. I've tried both the 2.0.5 version
in apt for Ubuntu fesity and compiling my own 2.2. All report not being
able to find the driver.

Relevant bit of /proc/bus/usb/devices included below and the result of
usbhid-ups -DDDD -a belkin -u root -x explore -x vendorid=0665 -x
productid=5161 (/dev/hiddev0 seems to disappear after I run this).

Regards,
Cian Davis
