My FreeBSD 8 appears to be running/linking against libusb20 - the

one...
We killed the old one a long time ago ;)
not sure of what you exactly mean here!
libusb 0.1 is still avail in FBSD 9:
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/ports.cgi?query=libusb&stype=all

Update: while reading the comment on  libusb1.0 website [1], I now
understand why you're using "2.0"!

"FreeBSD 8 and above include a FreeBSD-specific reimplementation of the
libusb-1.0 API, so your applications will probably work there too. The
source code for this library can be found:
http://svnweb.freebsd.org/base/head/lib/libusb/";

but still, your "killing" comment leave me in a doubtful state ;)

Oops, haha, sorry, that's right; we didn't kill it, just switched
default, and loads of ports needed modification over it.

Do we know how to 'use' the legacy libusb 0.1 in FreeBSD?
As Arnaud pointed out, they're still there; including usb.h uses the
libusb 0.1 compat layer.

So, does that mean I would need to recompile nut, but link it against libusb
0.1 compat layer?

If so, how would I go about that?
My understanding is that you shouldn't need to be concerned with
that-- NUT uses libusb-0.1, which is emulated in FreeBSD with
libusb20.  Thus changing the version to link with makes no sense.

OK, so back to square one... I guess testing the UPS on a currently supported is the next most sensible step, then - at least to determine if the driver really works with the Zigor...
