[Nut-upsdev] tripplite_usb and Omni1000

[Brandon Siegel]

Just an update:

I tried adding "-x productid=2005" to the commandline of tripplite_usb
to force it to match, and this is the output:

Network UPS Tools - Tripp Lite OMNIVS and SMARTPRO driver 0.6 (2.1.0)
Warning: This is an experimental driver.
Some features may not function correctly.
