Citeren Arnaud Quette <[email protected]>:
that being said, you should give a try to blazer_usb, the successor of the megatec_usb driver. we will be interested in a debug output (ie /path/to/blazer_usb -DDDDD -a <upsname> along with the output of "lsusb -v" excerpt of your device.
For the blazer_usb driver, -DDD (debug level 3) is enough. Unless you also want to debug the communication on the driver socket (for upsd), running a driver with debug level 5 (-DDDDD) is usually a bad idea.
now, since I don't know much about these drivers, I'll let Arjen comment on the patch itself.
At the very least, we'll need the USB ID of this device. Back in 2007, this model used the 0665:5161 (Cypress Semiconductor) USB to serial converter. If this is still used today, you should be fine running the blazer_usb driver. Be sure to read 'man 8 blazer' before asking for help.
The megatec_usb driver is a legacy driver that is not being actively maintained. We won't accept patches for megatec_usb at this time. Your modification also breaks the driver for USB to serial converters that require reading until a timeout occurs.
