Okay, thanks. I think this is the first report of FreeBSD 10.2, so hopefully it is not an issue inherent in the OS. I will see if I can upgrade one of my machines to test with another UPS brand.

True, most people won't need to know the ./configure parameters. It looks like you found the driver path and the UPS name, so we're set for now. However, if you run across that part of the source code, it might be useful for later in case we need to rebuild a driver.

Just for grins, can you try adding "usb_set_altinterface" to the ups.conf section for your UPS, and see if that changes this part of the log? (That is, after "[upstl1300]").

My other concern is that FreeBSD might not allow the method that we use to retrieve the Report Descriptor.

What do the following commands return (need to run them as root)?

usbconfig -u 0 -a 5 dump_device_desc
usbconfig -u 0 -a 5 dump_curr_config_desc
usbconfig -u 0 -a 5 do_request 0x81 0x06 0x2200 0 0x100

(I'm guessing on "-u 0 -a 5" based on .../dev/ugen0.5 -- that might change if the UPS USB cable is unplugged and re-inserted.)

Thanks for sending ups.conf. That's all I can think of for now.
