After Upgrade to pfsense 2.0, NUT will not start

knight-of-ni

I have an MGE Pulsar Evolution UPS attached to COM1.
NUT worked fine when running pfsense 1.2.3.

This morning I upgraded to pfsense 2.0, and it seems I can no longer select a port other than "Auto (USB Only)" from the gui. The odd thing is that, no matter what local ups model I select from the list, the only local ups port option available is "Auto (USB Only)".

Because of this, I get the following when I try to start NUT:

# /usr/local/etc/rc.d/nut.sh start
starting mge-shut
Network UPS Tools - UPS driver controller 2.2.2
Network UPS Tools - MGE UPS SYSTEMS/SHUT driver 0.66 (2.2.2)

Unable to open auto: No such file or directory

Things to try:

 - Check 'port=' in ups.conf

 - Check owner/permissions of all parts of path

Fatal error: unusable configuration
Driver failed to start (exit status=1)
mge-shut failed to start

Completely uninstalling and then reinstalling NUT did not help.

Suggestions?

Update: I seem to no longer have a COM1, /dev/ttyd0

Dmesg detects it:

uart0: <16550 or compatible> port 0x3f8-0x3ff irq 4 flags 0x10 on acpi0
uart0: [FILTER]

However the device /dev/ttyd0 does not get created.
I've noticed the device.hints files appear to be different between version of pfsense.
Continuing to investigate…

Looks like FreeBSD decided to change /dev/ttyd0 to /dev/ttyu0.

Changing the port in /usr/local/etc/nut/ups.conf to /dev/ttyu0, as described in the link below, "fixes" the problem.
