Hi
I have checked the port 2.0.3 and 2.0.5 port of "nut". Can't the USB driver
stuff work on OpenBSD? I mean there is not build option for the "newhidups"
or "hidups" driver in the port which seems to be built with a separate
option.
Asking as a customer now has a APC Back-UPS with the USB interface that seems
to be supported by this driver.
From the NUT FAQ:

Q: What is this newhidups about?
A: The basic USB UPS support was done until now using hidups. To allow
a wider support accross platforms, newhidups driver uses libusb
(which is available for a wide range of operating systems) and
libhid (currently, an old internal version of it).
As of NUT 2.2, newhidups will completely replace the existing
hidups driver and provide support for various manufacturers. At that
time, it will be renamed to usbhid-ups.
newhidups can be built by using "make usb", and installed using
"make install-usb". Note that it will also install other USB
drivers.

Anybody with a clue?
Thanks in advance
Regards
Per-Olov
