The apcsmart driver is only for serial connections to APC equipment.

The hiddev* devices are not used in any of the current NUT drivers.

Depending on the vintage of Debian which was used for your system, you  
will need to check on the /proc/bus/usb or /dev/bus/usb node.

Check the documentation for the usbhid-ups driver -- it is probably  
the one you want. If it doesn't detect your UPS (e.g. it is rebranded,  
and uses a different USB Vendor ID), send us the output of 'lsusb -v'  
for that device.
