Eaton Powerware 9130, USB and RHEL 5.5
 
Good day!
We have:
1. Intel server board S5500BC
2. Eaton Powerware 9130 connected to server via USB
3. Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.5 as OS
We need to control UPS and server shutdown using Lansafe 6.03.

I was asked a question about UPS connection during Lansafe installation as a controller. My answer was USB. It tried to find UPS automatically, but then showed me the list of available UPSes. I chose my model, changed some characteristics and got among others "connection type: network". Very strange, but can't be changed. At the end i got message "successful installation".
But it doesn't work :( Nor windows installation client can't connect to controller, nor server shutdowns after 5 minutes of energy lost.
I tried to find any information about this behavior all yesterday. I even wrote an e-mail to powerware. But didn't find solution :(

The problem mostly is in text (followed my message) "driver=(none)". It's very strange because usb keyboard and usb mouse are both driver=usbhid.
What to do?

So, what can be seen in RHEL 5.5:
Code:

dmesg
usb 4-1: USB disconnect, address 2
usb 4-1: new low speed USB device using uhci_hcd and address 3
usb 4-1: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice

Code:

The official answer from Eaton:
"Sounds like you are missing the USB Driver. Unfortunately there is not a USB driver for the Linux Operating System."
And an advice at the end to use Windows.
Great!
