Does it look at the if_baudrate member?

em(4) and other drivers will set if_baudrate according to the speed 
detected from Ethernet link beat, this could be creating a situation 
where bsnmpd is not exposing the high-speed counters at runtime?

I imagine this could really confuse an SNMP-oriented Network Management 
System such as Nagios or OpenNMS.
