Hello Arnaud,
the driver seems indeed to be working fine, except the 'Lost comm'
message at beginning. I started the upsc and I can get the expected
output:

Before I'm ready to keep upsmon running and execute some tests with
the UPS I have to do some cleanup but the basics seems to be in place.

Thanks,
Massimo
