[Nut-upsuser] Tripp-Lite USB constantlly disconnecting.

I am experiencing the same kind of disconnects, stale data on Eaton brand 
UPS (Nova AVR). It keeps doing it probably due to Windows to detect it as 
a new hardware, until Eaton software is installed. With Eaton Linux IPP 
http://pqsoftware.eaton.com/explore/eng/ipp/default.htm?lang=en
this does not happen. Think what? It disables it somehow. But as soon as 
you remove this proprietary driver, its back again.

Just wanted to let you know, you may try vendor provided driver, if there 
is any...
