Yes - but how?
The kernel knows about the various blades.
The agent (and the MIB modules) knows how to handle SNMP requests.

What you need to concentrate on is how to bridge
the gap between the agent and the kernel - how to tell
the agent about this list of blades.

But where does this list come from?

If you are using the 'table_data' helper, then this effectively replaces
your linked list - it holds a list of the blades entries that it knows about.
But it's up to *you* to provide the code that tells the helper about
what blades are present - it's not something that the agent can do
automatically.

I'd suggest you try running mib2c with the option "-S cache=1",
then fill the 'load' routine with code to populate the table with the
list of rows from the kernel.
