[Nut-upsuser] Usbhip-ups going wild

[Antoine Gatineau]

So this is hardware related.
The hardware is in a big lab with AC and a lot of other servers and
electronic cards so the EM must be quite big there.

I think everything is fine for me now. Thanks a lot for your time and help.

I will update with url for RHEL4 and RHEL5 packages as soon as it is
accepted by Fedora/EPEL people :)

The kernel is disconnecting it, but that is based on a signal from the root
hub hardware (probably on your motherboard).

The EMI is likely caused by insufficient isolation between the USB hardware
and the power switching circuitry in the UPS.
