2.4.1-2ubuntu4 you mean (the one that is available in the distro)?
have you tried to unplug and plug back the USB cord of the UPS? otherwise,
try this and relaunch upsdrvctl or bcmxcp_usb

I've just checked again, and all the files in /lib/nut are executable in a
fresh jaunty install.
otherwise, you wouldn't have been able to run the driver nor get the above
output!
so I found this strange, you should check again... it's probably the devices
privileges mentioned above.
and this one is possibly due to a bug in the package.

we seem to face a completely different issue here than the one on the QNAP.
I'd first like to be sure that you're unit is working (or not) in jaunty
before getting back to the QNAP.

I've just checked the code (which has been revamped), and the specific part
seem similar (can't be 100% sure though). now, I'll have to add some more
trace to get more visibility.
I'll probably ping you tomorrow to test the latest subversion trunk. ok with
that method?
