Jeff:

I do want to let you know that upon following your suggestions,
I obtained results that satisfy the questions to which your
suggestions were offered in answer.  I am most appreciative
of your kind assistance in this matter.

Should you have opportunity, perhaps you will also be able
to address a few other questions.  I have posted some of
my concerns to the Net-SNMP users group, where you will
find much detail.  Generally, the questions concern two
issues.  One is the efficacy of using call that establishes
the default values for columns of table rows.  I have noted
that

  a) if the call is not made, then the table is not actually
      available for use;

  b) even when the call is made, creation of table rows
      does not result in column values taking on the
      default values specified, such as when I do not
      explicitly set the value of the column by using a
      different function.

Now, I have noted in the source code for the v5 API
that a call does exist for creation of a row from the default
row defined by the routine

  netsnmp_table_set_multi_add_default_row

Still, this seems a bit awkward of a construction.  After all,
if I create a row with the routine

  netsnmp_create_table_data_row

it would seem to me that the default values of columns of
the target table ought to be used.

I am also not sure that I understand the process of using
the handler function for a table, such as to support a get
or set request.  That is, while my implementation of dot11
tables is via the data-set model, I have not found example
code that shows how I would interface the Net-SNMP daemon
code to that of driver routines.  I need to be able to transfer
the values of OID's from/to the corresponding registers of
my dot11 hardware, each time a PDU is obtained by the
agent.  So, an example or two of similar constructs would
be quite beneficial.

Again, thank you very much for your kind assistance in
this matter.  Your suggestions have been included in other
postings of mine, for the benefit of other Net-SNMP users.
