    Originally it was OI, then OmniOS until about 3 days ago. I compiled nut
    myself, yes, but libusb is a major PITA. Basically you have to find the
    libusb packages from the latest opensolaris and install them. Then there
    were problems with libusb.h or something... it was a while ago and a big
    time sink.

    This passed weekend installed ESXi on my host and using passthrough and
    a solarflare 10gbe adapter from ebay I have omnios running as VM and
    much faster than it was before (from a usb stick). I've setup a linux vm
    along side it for everything else, including UPS management( which can
    trigger esxi shutdown, which in turn triggers VM shutdown).

    Yes and yes, the change is lost at reboot. I never got it to stick so I
    had to run it on boot every time before nut started. Otherwise the
    driver would not work.

    Good luck :)
