I was simply trying to gather more information because the running setup, the one with liebert driver and nut user, wasn't able to run anymore with the upgrade. Sorry I didn't make it clear in the first instance. I made too many tests and more than one driver get loaded in the same time. The UPS is attached only via USB, as always was, I don't have a serial connector for this device. There's still something that beats me: I checked, and the first NUT installation was in 2008 the 2.0.5 version, with this very same UPS. It could be with a different driver, but the device was always the same, always connected via USB. Is it there a compatible driver, even if not fully-featured?
