Hi all, As some of you may know, I've been awarded a grant by the FreeBSD Foundation to make several improvements to FreeBSD's SNMP daemon. The first part of the project - a module for monitoring wireless networking under FreeBSD - is now completed and I'd really appreciate if I could get some help in more extensive testing in a wider range of wireless networking usage scenarios. A tarbal of the latest sources of the module is available under http://people.freebsd.org/~syrinx/snmp/snmp_wlan-20100710-01.tar. To compile and install the module - #fetch http://people.freebsd.org/~syrinx/snmp/snmp_wlan-20100710-01.tar #tar -xvf snmp_wlan-20100710-01.tar #cd snmp_wlan #make #make install (as root) To enable loading of the module in bsnmpd(1), one should add the following line to bsnmpd(1) config file (usually /etc/snmpd.config) - begemotSnmpdModulePath."wlan" = "/usr/lib/snmp_wlan.so" More details on how the module works may be found in the snmp_wlan(3) man page and in the private BEGEMOT-WIRELESS-MIB the module implements (installed under /usr/share/snmp/mibs/BEGEMOT-WIRELESS-MIB.txt). Know issues currently are that BITS types are not always handled properly, and TX rates may not always be properly set - I am working on fixing those. All feedback is wellcome - bug reports, requests for features to be included in future versions of the module, code style and bug fix patches. I will be glad to help resolve any problems that may arise while installing/working with the module and answer any questions you may have. Thanks! cheers, Shteryana
