I have a customer of mine that just bought a

  UPSonic CXR 2000

and is trying to connect the usb cable from this UPS
to a Freebsd 9.1 system running the 2.6.5 NUT code.
Freebsd/NUT does not see the device properly.

I have also been working with the NUT people and
they suggested that I discuss this issue with the freebsd-usb
folks.....

Here are some command output that the NUT people asked for
and after seeing it, they think it may be a bug on Freebsd
so here I am asking for help :)  They also stated that they
had thought that others may have gotten the blazer_usb
driver to work properly on Freebsd but........

I deactivated the uhidd stuff since NUT suggested this
in order to get more debug info....


# uhidd -v -u /dev/ugen1.3

ugen1.3[0]-> Report descriptor size = 27
ugen1.3[0]-> Kernel driver is active
ugen1.3[0]-> kernel driver detached!
ugen1.3[0]-> Find IN interrupt ep: 0x81 packet_size=0x8


# /usr/local/libexec/nut/blazer_usb -a UPSonic -u root -DDDD

I have checked all the ownership/permissions on the /dev
related files and confirmed with NUT the proper stuff....

Is there something I am missing to support the usb attachment
for UPS driver for this particular UPS?

Thx for any pointers/help.

Chris
