Hmmm....
That's one of the problems in implementing from an I-Draft, I suppose.

Has the numeric OID actually changed?
Or do you just mean the internal variable names?

My gut reaction is to wait - stick with what you've got at the moment
(and probably don't even bother changing internal names).  It's probably
worth putting a comment in to say that things have changed, but nothing
more.
  When this finally appears as an RFC, then *that's* the time to rename
the implementation files, etc.   Once it's got that far, it's unlikely to
change again.

I haven't looked at your code yet, but I presume you're also
implementing the ipNetToMediaTable (based on the same data) as well?
What about the atTable?

Will the ipNetToPhysicalTable be included by default, or an optional
module (to be configured in explicitly) ?
