(Apologies for the long message, but there's a lot to report here.)
After a lot of help from Kjell (thank you!) I am now testing the
2.6.0-pre1 version with a usbhid-ups that recognises my UPS:
# /etc/init.d/upsdrv start

There does seem to be one problem with my system which generates
reports like this before I start upsdrv:

(it'll keep disconnecting and reconnecting)
and like this after I connect to it with upsdrv:

===========================================================
... and so on.
At the first few attempts to connect with upsdrv I usually get this error:
# /etc/init.d/upsdrv start

* Failed to start UPS drivers! [ !! ]
Eventually upsdrv will connect as shown further up, but a few minutes
later (5 minutes or more) this error happens:

Fair enough, that's upsc tells me too:
# upsc iDowell
Error: Data stale
After that stage the device is rediscovered by the kernel, but the
driver will not connect on its own:

===========================================================
The above log errors show that something is trying to capture the UPS,
besides the usbhid-ups driver. The above connection failure could be
because of a clash between drivers. The previous nut version 2.4.3-r2
had been installed with the hal USE flag and I have:

Could any of the above be causing the clash?
