indeed, and a full rewrite is also needed, to support the subdrivers
approach as in usbhid-ups.
this would fix various issues and limitations, and would also unblock a few
patch that are stagging in my TODO stack.

well, your NMC (in the evolution) is SNMP capable (beside the XML/HTTP
channel).
depending on your exact card reference and FW version, it will expose a
minimum or full set of IETF + MGE MIBS.

Arjen: if needed, I can also check to send you a more suitable card, but I
know that you're already quite busy.
so up to you, you know who to ask ;-)

cheers,
Arnaud
