[Nut-upsdev] Looks like the Tripplite SMART1500SLT support borked?

If you're running the latest, bleeding edge version from the trunk,  
expect things to break any time. If you don't want that, the answer is  
easy, stick with a version that works (but read on).

The all important question now is, what is the driver reporting if you  
run it in debug mode (-DD).

> This was only put in in July. What happened?

No pun intended, but apparently something changed between the version  
you where running at the time and what you have now... :-)

If you want to help finding what went wrong, downgrade until you've  
reached a version that works again (as far as I can see, there where  
only a couple of changes, so this shouldn't take too long). Please  
make sure you rebuild (and install) the whole NUT package and not just  
the driver.

> The vendorid which worked then was:  vendorid = 09ae

You shouldn't have to specify a vendorid (that never helps), you  
probably specified productid = 0x3012 at the time to make the driver  
recognise the UPS. This should no longer be needed (and you should  
remove it now).

> What can I do to get this working again?

See above. Checkout which commit broke the driver and report back here.
