[Nut-upsdev] ups.firmware

Hi all.

As the subject has come up. Powerware ups may contain
several cpu's and different firmware versions.

Five of them is always ordered in a specific way.

1 control panel
2 inverter
3 rectifier
4 net interface card
5 display control

So if a ups have a inverter cpu but not a control panel
it sets the firmware revision to 00.00 to the control
panel cpu, and get the version for the inverter.

At the moment the driver is fetching the first version it
find. And if it have a control panel it set ups.firmware
to the version of that.

One buggy thing is that if the ups is missing control panel
it may give the firmware version of the communication board,
as it skips the firmware with revision 00.00. 

So it would be nice with

ups.control.firmware
ups.inverter.firmware
ups.rectifier.firmware
ups.interface.firmware
ups.display.firmware

Is this something that may apply to other ups'es then powerware ?

Regards
Kjell
