Actually that may not be necessary - I forgot that Solaris' USB stack  
is similar to *BSD.

Do you see the UPS listed in the kernel dmesg output (or equivalent)?  
If so, is it a 'ugen*' or a 'uhid*' node? If it is not bound to the  
ugen driver, libusb might not see it. I'm not sure if there's a way to  
detach it from uhid at runtime, so there might be a kernel  
configuration option to fix this.
