A MIB file is effectively a design document, in a standard format.
So the BEGEMOT MIBs are equally applicable to bsnmpd and to
Net-SNMP.   There should be no incompatibility problems,

But a design document is not sufficient on its own.
You also need code to *implement* this design (i.e. the MIB objects).
The code for bsnmpd will almost certainly be different to that
needed for Net-SNMP.

What's probably happened is that someone has written the
necessary code for bsnmpd (so that agent reports these values).
But no-one has written equivalent code for the Net-SNMP agent
(so it does not).

You do need code to implement a MIB, before you can start
querying it.   Just loading the MIB file doesn't magically make
the values appear out of mid air!
