> I have a new Liebert PSA UPS which I wanted to help support my FreeNAS box (a FreeBSD 8 variant). Unfortunately the nut-ups implementation here for the usb hid device doesn’t want to communicate with my UPS.
>  
> I have had a brief discussion with Charles outside of the list and done some digging with Windows XP, SuSE Linux on  VM,  SuSE linux on a Live CD, and my FreeNAS box in order to try and figure out what is wrong, but I am not expert enough to figure out what.
>  
> On my NAS box there is no implementation of lsusb or usbdevs, which is rather annoying…
> On my SuSE 12.2 running under a VM lsusb fails trying to get the descriptors.
> Windows XP and usbpcap appear to happily read the UPSs device descriptors, and finally…
> SuSE Live CD (i.e. not under a VM) gets the following output (again apparently reading the descriptor OK)
