Question on etherlike MIB and if-mib relationship

Hello,
I’m unable to use the linux code that the net-snmp-5.5 generates to reach the ethernet drivers because though our system uses linux, the ethernet device isnt accessible through ioctls (and no, I cant change our system to make it so, I’ve checked). So, I’m writing some of my own code. I have couple of questions:

NOTE: I have 4 ethernet interfaces. I assume I have to add to the iftable and the dot3stats table.

1)  In the ifTable_container_load inside of ifTable code, I’m adding manually the ethernet interfaces in there. Do I need to add the same interfaces at the same location inside the dot3stats_container_load code? Is there anyway to remove this duplicacy?
2) Also, the etherlike-MIB specifies a mapping between the if stats and ethernet stats. The ifInErrors for example, is an addition of various dot3stats. How do I reference the if table stats from the ethernet tables or vice versa in the mib code provided by net-snmp?

Regards,
Kavita
