I think Dave, like me, simply wishes for a happy medium. On one extreme, we have the users who write "my module doesn't work, why?", and on the other, we have you, expounding at great length. The first doesn't give us enough info to work with, and you give us lots of un-necessary stuff to wade through to try and find the problem. Of course, within the developers we have different styles ourselves. I tend to give short, curt 'look here and then come back if you have more questions' answers, while Dave tends to give verbose answers with details, examples and explanations. But I digress.

An extension of the if-mib code is only appropriate if the interface is to appear in the ifTable and ifXTables. What are you trying to do with the device driver?
