OK, the driver seems to start.

But have you started the daemon (upsd)?

Then you have to start the upsmon to monitor the ups.
---------
Check with:
 ps xau |grep nut
nut       5324  0.0  0.0  12428   508 ?        Ss   09:41   0:00 /lib/nut/bcmxcp
-a pw5115
nut       5348  0.0  0.0  40528   864 ?        Ss   09:41   0:00 /usr/sbin/upsd
nut       5367  0.0  0.0  40496  1148 ?        S    09:41   0:00
/usr/sbin/upsmon
-------------
You may also do:
ps xau |grep ups

Then you see that upsmon have two instants. One as nut and one as root.
