[Nut-upsuser] Have an older Back-UPS Pro 1400(BP1400) can't get detailed info.

[Brian Wagener]

I built the latest stable 2.4.1, and the same results.  I am guessing it has
to do with not recognizing firmware version.

Here is the command line:  Note this is using ubuntu
$ ps auxwww|grep apcsmart
nut       6078  0.0  0.0   1956   496 ?        Ss   18:36   0:00
/lib/nut/apcsmart -a ups1

$ ./drivers/apcsmart -a ups1 -DDDD -u nut
