Ok. Since I did not get grep results for this in the agent
implementation I believe that it is not implemented. 

>Model, vendor, version, etc - would probably be covered by 
>HOST-RESOURCES-MIB::hrDeviceDescr

Sadly No. I believe we will have to go the rfc way in this one.

There are a bunch of other things in my wishlist which I would like to
see implemented in the net-snmp implementation namely -

dot3StatsAlignment
dot3StatsMultipleCollisionFrames-Generic
dot3StatsLateCollisions-Generic
dot3StatsSingleCollisionFrames-Generic
dot3StatsExcessiveCollision-Generic 

Not sure if they are being worked upon by anybody else in this list
since I did not find them in the feature tracker in the sourceforge site
or in the mailing list archives.

Dave - Is it possible to know about the release cycles for the next
version of net-snmp? I tried looking at
http://www.net-snmp.org/dev/schedule.html for the schedules but I guess
they are not of much help to me.

I believe we would like to contribute or work with the list on patches
to get the above features implemented and the kind of timelines that the
release cycle/patch submissions tie in will help.

Thanks in advance for the pointers.
