Tim, is this the issue you mentioned on 2014-02-02 with blocks 0x9 and 0x13? I'll reply to that email.

Greg,

From http://packages.ubuntu.com/saucy/nut-server it looks like you have 2.6.4. There was a big rewrite of the bcmxcp driver core which became part of 2.7.1.

It might be possible to drop in the bcmxcp driver binary from Ubuntu trusty - I wouldn't force-install the whole package, just in case they changed things regarding init scripts and other libraries, but the drivers should be pretty self-contained. Or you could build just that driver from source, making sure to use the same paths as Ubuntu uses to build their binaries. Let me know if you're interested in trying one of those routes (admittedly, it makes for a bit of a Frankenstein system) and I can explain in more detail.
