[HamWAN PSDR] HamWAN use cases [was: hamwan.net DDNS]

[Nigel Vander Houwen]

It is looking like that apparently the more recent releases support the more generalized OIDs, and I've added that to the monitoring system, so future additions won't need the specific OIDs.

I'll chock it up to another mikrotik oddity, but I recall when i first tried those, the OIDs existed, but just wouldn't return any data. Glad they work now. Makes things much simpler.

Originally, when I was looking, there were certainly more OIDs, but not all of them actually reported data. The OIDs we chose to use (the MAC dependent ones) were the ones that worked. If in the more recent releases a non-specific OID worked, that would make things much simpler in terms of setting up SNMP monitoring.
