Ah, sorry. It seems like the snmp auto-detection really needs net-snmp 5.6 :(

In net-snmp 5.5 the UDP broadcast option was added, but apparently the devs 
missed to add a public-API method of extracting the responding IP address to 
the broadcast package. In 5.5 the netsnmp_udp_addr_pair struct was used in 
snmplib/snmpUDPDomain.cc, but that structure was never made public in any 
header file, so there was not way to get the IP address of the responding 
scanner.

In net-snmp 5.6, the new netsnmp_indexed_addr_pair struct provides access to 
that information, so I now increased the required net-snmp version to 5.6, as 
5.5 does not provide the required functionality...

Cheers,
Reinhold
