USB kldload -n uhid error

[russellsouthey]

Can anyone explain what could be causing the USB to disconnect? Please see console dump below.

I understand that the system is trying to load the uhid module - which has been initiated after plugging in a USB cable to connect to an EATON 5E Essential UPS - why is my NAS constantly "disconnected"?

Any ideas?

I have tried three different cables - same result for all cables.

Could this be due to the uhid driver not being loaded?

I could add "uhid_load="YES" in the loader.conf file...

I'm weary of "fiddling" with '.conf files so a cleaner alternative would be appreciated.


Thank you for your help!

Do you have the right driver selected?

Is that UPS a supported model? http://networkupstools.org/stable-hcl.html

Hi DrKK - thanks for your reply.
I am using the correct driver for this UPS.... I think it's a problem with FreeNAS not "seeing" the USB connection. I'll sojourn onwards and do more reading and exploring to get this sorted! Thanks again.
