I have a fuzzy requirement to write a network driver that is
SNMP enabled.
Is there anything special a network driver must do to support
SNMP?
Is SNMP support already in the DDK?
Presumable, if the PCNet Driver we have the source code for in the DDK, is
compliant to run under SNMPD out of the box, then one only has to supply the
same info to the same structures to make your new driver work. If you are
planning to have extra special MIB entries for your driver then forget it.
snmpd is non-extensible

SNMP runs over IP so it’s totaly irrelavant to the driver. I’m not sure if
the out-of-the box snmpd supports all standard MIB, I would be really
surprise if it did.

net-snmp isn’t to much trouble to port. You can add your own extention
or change the way standard MIB are filled.
