Hello,
I recently switched some of my debian systems to jessie, and check_netint.pl started not to work because all interface names where the same, with manufacturer names instead of unique interface names.
I found info here : http://serverfault.com/questions/713660/snmp-getting-the-short-interface-name-instead-of-long-ifdescr-again
It seems that the relevant info is in OID 1.3.6.1.2.1.31.1.1.1.1 instead of 1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.2
Apparently there has been some confusion between ifName and ifDescr in the past : things worked before because ifDescr did, in fact, contain the name. Now debian 8 exhibits the correct behavior (see http://cric.grenoble.cnrs.fr/Administrateurs/Outils/MIBS/?oid=1.3.6.1.2.1.31.1.1.1.1 vs http://cric.grenoble.cnrs.fr/Administrateurs/Outils/MIBS/?oid=1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.2)
This PR proposes to make the switch in order to recover the expected behavior. I tested it on my system.
