Description
Description of issue
If a user runs python3 -c "import nidcpower; nidcpower.print_diagnostic_information()" the Driver version reported for Linux will be "Unknown". We should figure out a way to report the true version of the installed driver runtime that ideally does not require sudo.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue with python3 -c "import nidcpower; nidcpower.print_diagnostic_information()" on Linux and inspect the nidcpower.print_diagnostic_information() entry point. Investigate how the installed driver runtime version can be detected without sudo; done means the diagnostic output reports the true Linux driver version instead of "Unknown".
