HI,
Please note. You should not use ifSpecific because it really
doesn't provide you with any useful info. This is a long known
problem, and is described in section 3.1.16 of RFC 2863.
So, the value of { 0 0 } is appropriate, and NOT A BUG.
The NETSNMP code MUST NOT be changed to return another value!
