I applied the patch and now I know what's the problem. I don't know if it's going to help any further. It is the unfinished libusb :) I can't even program serial port on BSD so I am unable to implement usb_clear_halt for BSD

On the other hand I have installed libusb 0.1.12. from packages. I tried to compile libusb 1.0 and see what nut thought about it. Anyway it said that it isn't compatible 0.1 versions and ./configure was very blunt: checking operating system... configure: error: unsupported operating system.

anyway the 0.1.12 said:

USB error: usb_clear_halt called, unimplemented on BSD

>you might also want to set libusb debug using USB_DEBUG=3
>this can also report some low level things...
>(btw, it might be a good idea to document this somewhere!)

I ran 
$ USB_DEBUG=3 ./upsdrvctl start
Network UPS Tools - UPS driver controller 2.4.0-pre1
Network UPS Tools - BCMXCP UPS driver 0.18 (2.4.0-pre1)

Not funny :( Do we have to make conclusion that powerware 5110 with OpenBSD doesn't work? Or do we have some hacks?
