hi,

i have received an Gembird UPS 1200 VA for one of the servers and i am  
trying to get it work. The main problem is that the cd came with a  
compiled aplication for linux and with linux_base-fc8 installed it  
does not detect it.
the apcupsd does not recognize it either.

is there a way to make this work under FreeBSD?

#usbdevs -d

  addr 2: UPS USB MON V1.4, ?

#uname -a
