I'm trying to write a module for net-snmp, for our system.  A typical system 
will have between two and 16 cards in it, with about 15 parameters per card.

I got mib2c to generate a template file for me, and am starting to customize it 
for our requirements.  However, I have at least three immediate problems:

1. The init function generated netsnmp_register_scalar() calls for the first 
dozen fields in my mib, but stopped at the
    DevTblEntry which defines all my actual cards in the system.  Do I have to 
call something else to register those structs??
2. in the init function, how do I tell it about multiple devices??
3. When my individual handler is called, how do I know which device the request 
is for??

And my underlying question is:
Am I supposed to be able to figure out the answers to these questions by 
looking at the tutorials at net-snmp.org??
I'm completely lost in the data there.  Even the "Writing a MIB Module" 
tutorial doesn't discuss any of these issues, as far as I can see; it assumes 
that the writer has static data which is defined in the snmp module, which will 
*never* be the case, at least in our situation.  I could use a tutorial on 
using the net-snmp tutorials!!

Can anyone help me here??  I would be immensely grateful!!
