please read the section Limitation in snmp-ups:
http://www.networkupstools.org/docs/man/snmp-ups.html

though the 2 first sentences are not true anymore (I've implemented
snmp-ups shutdown in 2.6.4), the last one is still very true!
the best for you is to send an "upscmd ... shutdown.return", before "upsmon
-c fsd" on onbattedelay2

My second question is

SNMP OID is not present with the "MGE" MIB.
you can try "mib=" with "pw" or "ietf" in your ups.conf, and check which
one provide the more data...

I don't recall the exact init script in 12.04, but /etc/init.d/nut-server
should have a "Required-Start: ... $network ..."
this implies "low level networking (ethernet card; may imply PCMCIA
running)"
but I can't guarantee that you SNMP agent is already reachable.
you can delay (or wait for agent availability) in various manners.
the more simple is probably to decrease NUT startup priority...

again, various manners, and not especially tied to nut.
I would recommend  calling wakeonlan or whatever "ssh ... command" in
/etc/rc.local

cheers,
Arno
