SNMPv2-SMI was originally defined in RFC-1442 in 1993, so what we are dealing with is MIBs that are really old, or using the wrong definition. # RFC-1212 and RFC-1215 > Looking at these rfcs, they are a bit different than most others.

My concern is that RFC-1212 has a circular dependency with RFC-1213 so there might be an issue anyway. I'll add these in and see how it goes.
