That is not surprising, since this is the vendorid of APC.

I beg to differ here. If the UPS would be recognised by the kernel (which
is still to be seen), this would at least reveal the vendorid and
productid and sometimes also the reason why the driver can't connect.

Please do. You may want to run the driver as root, to rule out any
permissions problems

    usbhid-ups -DDDDD -u root -a <upsname>

If it doesn't work as root, changes are that the productid is unknown to
us. If it only works as root, there may be a permissions problem.
