[Nut-upsuser] PowerShield Centurion 2000

[James Cameron]

G'day,

New toy, came with bundled software which is non-free, so I'm looking at
whether NUT can be convinced to play with the toy.  I've never used NUT
before.


OS name and version: Ubuntu 10.10

exact NUT version: 2.4.3-1ubuntu5

NUT installation method: Ubuntu package nut

exact device name and related information:

PowerShield Centurion 2000

# dmesg | tail

Network UPS Tools - UPS driver controller 2.4.3
Network UPS Tools - Generic HID driver 0.34 (2.4.3)
USB communication driver 0.31
No matching HID UPS found
Driver failed to start (exit status=1)

ups.conf:

[myups]
	driver = usbhid-ups
	port = auto
	vendorid = 0665

On the other hand, if I try megatec_usb, and chgrp nut the
/dev/bus/usb/001/004 entry, I get this:

# /sbin/upsdrvctl start myups
Network UPS Tools - UPS driver controller 2.4.3
Network UPS Tools - Megatec protocol driver 1.6 (2.4.3)
Serial-over-USB transport layer 0.10
Startup timer elapsed, continuing...
# echo $?
1
#

And then shortly afterward:

ser_get_line: Device detached? (error -1: could not claim interface 0: Device or resource busy)
Successfully reconnected

... and this repeats periodically.
