Running the driver seems to cause issues with the 2.6.17 kernel as the
/dev/usb/hiddev0 device disappears after the failed attempt to access
the UPS. This doesn't happen with the 2.0.3 version of the driver (but
that version also doesn't even recognize the UPS.
Yep, that's exactly what happens. When I re-connect the USB cable the
device node re-appears. Glad to know it's not a kernel issue.
If newhidups recognizes an UPS, it will detach the kernel usbhid
driver from the UPS (3rd line quoted above). That should explain the
disappearance of /dev/usb/hiddev0. It will reappear if you unplug and
replug the UPS into the USB port.
The failure to claim the USB device seems troubling to me, unless that
error is because the device node is disappearing after the device check
(which itself it troubling).
The first time we try to claim the device, the kernel usbhid driver is
still in control. After detaching the driver, the claim succeeds
The timeout afterwards is what concerns me.
Do you have any suggestions for how to debug it further? I have a
working cpsups driver, and I was hoping to try to merge the working
knowledge there into the newhidups driver so the the USB connection
would be supported. That's, of course, making an assumption (that is
more than likely incorrect) that the same protocol is used over both
connection types.
I have taken the cpsups driver from Doug Renolds and ported it to 2.0.4
and tried to make it more generic so that it will work with the
CP1200AVR as well as the other models it normally works with, and if he
has no problems with it then I plan to submit to the list for comment
and/or possible inclusion into the mainline.
