[Nut-upsuser] Installing NUT for PowerWalker VI 1500 LCD

Since the provided drivers come with absolutely no installation
instructions, I turned to NUT.

The compatibility list says "blazer_usb" should be used for PowerWalker's
devices, so that's what I put in my conf:

[pwvi]
        driver = blazer_usb
        port = auto
        desc = "PowerWalker VI 1500 LCD"

Since I use Ubuntu Server 13.10 so I installed nut from apt.

The product information PDF for the device in quesetion is
http://www.powerwalker.com/datasheet/Line-Interactive/PowerWalker%20VI%201500%20LCD.pdf

Below is the output from several commands:
I tried to look through the maillist archives but found nothing useful.

$ sudo upsdrvctl

Network UPS Tools - UPS driver controller 2.6.4
Network UPS Tools - Megatec/Q1 protocol USB driver 0.08 (2.6.4)
No supported devices found. Please check your device availability with
'lsusb'
and make sure you have an up-to-date version of NUT. If this does not help,
try running the driver with at least 'subdriver', 'vendorid' and 'productid'
options specified. Please refer to the man page for details about these
options
(man 8 blazer).

Driver failed to start (exit status=1)
