Hi Gene,

This device should be supported by the usbhid-ups driver. Usually you  
would look this up in the data/drivers.list file, but it doesn't look  
like the lsusb output is terribly helpful for that (Belkin seems to  
change the underlying hardware while keeping the model name the same).  
Which model do you have?

The NUT "README" file, while not specific to Fedora, should have the  
rest of the info needed to set this up. (Perhaps someone with Fedora  
10 experience can suggest whether the "classic" driver or the HAL  
driver would be better.) If I had to guess, I'd say the README is in / 
usr/share/doc/nut.
