USB UPS

[John Thacker]

Has anyone had any luck getting a  USB UPS to work with recent DeviceKit-power?

I have a USB UPS from Belkin whose idVendor (050d) and idProduct
(0900) match the entries in 95-devkit-power-hid.rules, but the device
doesn't show up under devkit-power -d at all, nor in
gnome-power-manager.

The device shows up perfectly well in dmesg:
usb 6-2: new low speed USB device using ohci_hcd and address 8
usb 6-2: New USB device found, idVendor=050d, idProduct=0900
usb 6-2: New USB device strings: Mfr=4, Product=20, SerialNumber=0
usb 6-2: Product: Belkin UPS
usb 6-2: Manufacturer: Belkin
usb 6-2: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice
generic-usb 0003:050D:0900.0009: hiddev96,hidraw1: USB HID v1.11
Device [Belkin  Belkin UPS] on usb-0000:00:13.1-2/input0

and appears in udevadm info -a --path=/bus/usb/devices/6-2:

  looking at device '/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:13.1/usb6/6-2':

and lshal just fine.

The UPS showed up fine in g-p-m under Fedora 10, now it doesn't work
with Fedora 11 which uses the latest DeviceKit-power.  (It hasn't
worked with any of the versions that came with Fedora 11, including
the update to the final 008 release.)

It seems to be a problem for people using Fedora 11 with other brands
of UPS as well:
