The main symptom in my unit is that the UPS drops off the USB bus
entirely, not responding in any way, not even rebooting the host helps. 
However, unplugging the USB cable resets the USB interface on the UPS,
and it then starts working again for some random number of days.   My
work around lets the host reset the UPS by removing power from the port
- electronically unplugging the USB cable.

You know it.  It's especially annoying when they use a completely
different chipset on a USB device, and expect it to be no problem
because it ships with new Windows drivers...
