Description Jonathan Sailor 2006-05-18 15:40:10 UTC

On recent kernels with some USB UPSs, sys-power/nut will get many USB events it doesn't want to handle. It normally syslog's for those events, which can result in lots of clutter in the logs (i.e. 7 messages
every 5 seconds), a la <https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=160700>.

Attachment 75508 [details, diff] is a simple patch to nut which changes the appropriate upslogx() calls to usbdebugx() calls. I've been using it for a few months with no problems.

NAK.
Stop using hidups and use newhidups instead.
