targetmaker script doesn't support 10GE interfaces

Targetmaker only queries ifSpeed, which returns inaccurate values for 10GE interfaces (returning 2^32-1 instead of 10000000000.

ifHighSpeed returns the speed in megabits, which can be utilized to calculate the ifSpeed.

I altered StandardIf.pl to also query IF-MIB::ifHighSpeed on all hosts, and if a value is returned, to use that * 1000000 as the actual $ifspeed value.

Is there a better way to approach this? I'm concerned about backwards compatibility.

i'm having problems with ifspeed always being set to 0 in targets.cfg on centos 5.6 polling stuff that i can manually snmpwalk and see the speeds are corrent

trying to sort things out i see i'm working with a different version of StandardIf.pl
that came from the .srpm package. i'm finding that the ifspeed var is getting wiped out in the are of this highspeed check.. but

my srpm version has a patch that looks like it's doing something similar to the above rtg2-highspeed.patch.. but it's not the same and the SVN version (last revised in 2009) shows neither the above patch or the similar patch that i see in the srpm package StandardIf.pl

what's the latest version I should be working from?

i should add... my "ifspeed alway equals 0" problem is verified to be caused by the "high speed fix" that is in the StandardIf.pl version that comes with the srpm... taking it out lets things work for my non-highspeed interfaces.

so i guess the issue is, the srpm needs to be updated... or, the spec file put into svn so patches can be submitted for it to "rpmbuild -ta" in a tarball of svn trunk
