+Desc: Hotplug script for NUT USB drivers
+File: scripts/hotplug/README
+Date: 8 January 2007
+Auth: Arnaud Quette <arnaud.quette@mgeups.com>
+
+This document introduces Linux Hotplug script for NUT USB
+drivers (usbhid-ups, bcmxcp_usb and tripplite_usb).
+
+These are needed, on older Linux systems, to ensure the right
+privileges are set on the usb files (ie allowing nut user to read AND
+write to the UPS device).
+
+Alternative
+-----------
+
+For newer 2.6 kernels with the udev mechanism, you should use the
+scripts in scripts/udev instead of this one.
+
+Installation
+------------
+
+For most users, these files will be automatically installed in
+/etc/hotplug upon "make install", if that directory exists. You can
+specify an alternate directory by ./configure --with-hotplug-dir=DIR.
+
+Manual installation
+-------------------
+These scripts can be used with Linux 2.4 to 2.6.13. 
+
+- possibly change libhidups to match NUT user
+- copy libhidups and libhid.usermap to /etc/hotplug/usb/
+- make libhidups executable with:
+       chmod a+x /etc/hotplug/usb/libhidups
+- call update-usb.usermap or equivalent if needed
+
+You can then plug your UPS, and start NUT.
