<515C56B5.9050404@arcor.de>Hi, I tried to connect my APC BackUp UPS to one of my Alpine Linux systems with kernel 3.6.11 via USB. While the UPS device was recognized by the kernel and shows up in /var/log/messages, the apcupsd cannot find the device. According to the manual at http://www.apcupsd.com/manual/manual.html#verifying-device-detection-and-driver apcupsd requires the following kernel modules to be installed: CONFIG_USB CONFIG_USB_HID CONFIG_USB_HIDDEV CONFIG_USB_DEVICEFS The first two are present and can be modprobed successfully, though usbhiddev is missing alpine:~$ cat /boot/config-3.6.11-grsec | grep CONFIG_USB_HID* CONFIG_USB_HID=m # CONFIG_USB_HIDDEV is not set The CONFIG_USB_DEVICEFS configuration key seems not to be available in the current kernel built, so I don't know whether it has been renamed or has been combined with another key, e.g. CONFIG_USB. Anyway, in the upcoming built I'd like to ask for the configuration to be changed to CONFIG_USB_HIDDEV=m Has anyone successfully connected an APC UPS through USB to his/her Alpine Linux system, yet?
