Just two general remarks:
- net-snmp is probably developed on Linux so it doesn't know how to
access many of the informations that is available in FreeBSD.
- bsnmp is lacking developers (I'm the only one). I had a surgery in
november and took the 4 weeks after this to rewrite all the networking
stuff. It is in principle mostly up to date and supports also IPv6. The
problem is that I run out of time again and just cannot do the last steps
to release it (including testing). If there were people interested in it,
I would happily work with them.
