Excellent.

This spurred me to take a closer look at the 3x v1810 I have. After 
updating to the latest Layer2/HP.pm, a couple of fixes were needed for 
better support, so I have updated sourceforge with a patch:

https://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&aid=3344843&group_id=70362&atid=527529

The port names are peculiar:

"Port: 11 Gigabit - Level"

What's "Level" supposed to mean?

There's also a: "CPU Interface : 1", of type "other".  Probably that 
should be filtered out, although the parent Layer2.pm already seems to try 
to do that for type "other", so I'm not sure why the interface is still 
appearing.  I haven't looked into it any further.
