Are you sure you are using the right driver? You should use the hidups or newhidups diver with USB HID UPSes. </pre> </blockquote> I'm not sure of anything at this point. the hidups driver says "Can't connect to UPS [cyberpower] (hidups-hiddev0): No such file or directory . . . dev/hiddev0 is not a UPS" the newhidups driver says "Can't connect to UPS [cyberpower] (newhidups-hiddev0): No such file or directory. . . No USB/HID UPS found" I really dont WANT to use USB except that this motherboard doesnt have a serial port. </body> </html>
