OK, I can try updating the IBMGbTor class for you so it loads the 
additional MIBs and tries a second object to determine software version, 
if the object we currently use isn't implemented.

Can you upload the relevant MIBs in a new ticket in 
https://sourceforge.net/p/netdisco/nd-mibs/ ?

And do you know which object(s) in these MIBs should be used to 
determine the software version on the other switch models?
