You are correct, I can remove vendorid, productid and bus and the blazer_usb 
driver still functions.

An alternative that also works for me is to set

       bus = "00[1-2]"

as after reading the documentation, I noticed that the bus can be a regex.

Yes, it was nut-scanner that generated this, less the langid_fix line.

It does change, as today after bootup, it was back on to bus 001.

I have 2 usb buses, I think because I have a hub plugged in, although the
UPS has never been plugged into the hub.
