sorry for the lag... too many things, not enough time.

I'm preparing a version with some more debug info, but I'm still puzzled
with your issue.
in the meantime, can you retry the debug test on your 9.04, ie

export USB_DEBUG=3 && /lib/nut/bcmxcp_usb -u root -DDDDD -a PowerWare

if you end up with "Can't set POWERWARE USB configuration", then we should
have an msg from libusb like "could not set config..." with the exact
errno...

I'll then ping you for the updated driver.
