[Devmon] sysdescr problem with f5 bigip template

[Tom G. <to...@mc...>]

We are evaluating a F5 BigIP 6800 and I was trying to monitor it with 
devmon and the default f5-bigip template set distributed in the tarball. 
  I knew something was amiss when the first column that showed up after 
I pointed devmon at the bigip  was called "raid", not "if_load".

Turns out the sysdescr string that the big ip returns looks like this:

SNMPv2-MIB::sysDescr.0 = STRING: Linux hostname.example.com 
2.4.21-9.1.2.37.0smp #2 SMP Tue Apr 25 15:38:38 PDT 2006 i686

Having "Linux" in the string makes it match the compaq-server template, 
not the f5-bigip .  Has anyone else seen this?
