I ran the new driver (see below) and with -DDDD it throws out tons of 
never ending information, what am I looking for? :)

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.

Charles, thanks very much for the information :)  I've parachuted in the 
bcmxcp_usb binary from Ubuntu Trusty from nut-server 
(http://mirrors.kernel.org/ubuntu/pool/main/n/nut/nut-server_2.7.1-1ubuntu1_i386.deb) 
by using dpkg-deb to pull it out of the .deb file:

$ ls -l /lib/nut/bcmxcp*
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 75880 May 20  2013 /lib/nut/bcmxcp
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 80544 Feb 15 09:03 /lib/nut/bcmxcp_usb
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 71816 Feb 15 09:03 /lib/nut/bcmxcp_usb.2.6.4
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 80544 Feb 15 09:02 /lib/nut/bcmxcp_usb.2.7.1

And stopped both nut-client and nut-server, then started them both up.  
There is no change to what is displayed in the cgi, the same fields are 
still missing :(

OK, from that table, should the nut cgi be showing the Battery, UPS Temp 
and Battery Runtime values?  Sorry, I don't know how these values are 
translated into what is shown in the cgi displays.

I've got nut running, and can use upsc to get the values directly:

$ ps aux | grep nut
nut      18306  1.3  0.0   2640   636 ?        Ss   15:14   0:00

nut      18308  0.0  0.0   2620   708 ?        Ss   15:14   0:00 /sbin/upsd
nut      18326  0.0  0.0   2592   764 ?        S    15:14   0:00

Happy to do more checks, I see the firmware on my 5110 700VA has the 
same values as the 5110 500VA on the wiki, but there are a few fields 
different, I guess there is a difference between the wiki page and the 
driver in Ubuntu Trusty.

Thanks,
Greg
