Hmm, then the driver should be doing the same thing.

What does the debug output look like when you run ./nutdrv_atcl_usb -a ups -DDD -u root -k ?

Where do you mean? It looks like the host resets the USB port about 7 seconds after sending the Interrupt Out (packet #221 in the latest capture). If the Windows application doesn't reconnect, that would explain the lack of Interrupt In packets after it is finished enumerating.
