<DIV><BR></DIV>Hi Greg, Thomas and the list,<BR><BR>I've not forgotten you nor
your issue.<BR>It just took some time to gather a "faulty" unit and a bit of
time to reproduce your issue.<BR><BR>The good news is that I've commited a fix
to the NUT development branch (aka Subversion), in the release r2015.<BR>The bad
news is that your test and feedback is welcome ;-)<BR><BR>For more info on
getting and compiling the development release:<BR><A

that you don't need to install nut ; simply running from the build directory is
sufficient, using:<BR>$ drivers/bcmxcp_usb -DD -a <ups name><BR><BR>will
tell you if your issue is solved. And I'm very confident that it will indeed be
solved.<BR><BR>cheers,<BR>Arnaud<BR>-- <BR>Linux / Unix Expert R&D - Eaton -
