Package: linux-image-2.6.26-1-orion5x
Version: 2.6.26-13
Severity: important

The current version of the orion kernel image has no hiddev support,
which is needed by devices such as UPS-es which connect via USB.

For instance, the package apcupsd will not run on this kernel,
because it cannot find any /dev/usb/hiddev* devices.

Please enable the option CONFIG_USB_HIDDEV to correct this.

Severity set to important at request of Martin Michlmayr.
We have verified that this option indeed solves the problem.
