Trying to.  There are a number of difficulties:
1.  The version 2c mibs don't seem to work terribly well (getnext works, get
doesn't), so it is hard to monitor the gigabit port.
2.  The mib instances have literal strings encoded in them, which MRTG
doesn't know how to parse.

For example:
snmpget -IR -Os 192.168.0.1 apCntByteCount.\"owner\".\"contentrule\"
apCntByteCount."owner"."contentrule" = 123455689

I also notice that a lot of the mib is not populated with good data.
Apparently there was a major re-write of the SNMP handling in 4.0.1, and
they missed a bit.

If someone can figure out how to convince MRTG to handle the literal strings
in instances, that would be a big help.  MRTG handles the mibs just fine
with:

loadmibs: /home/mib/apent.mib, /home/mib/ap64stats.mib, /home/mib/cntext.mib

The easiest place to grab the text mibs is to ftp them from the CSS itself.

As far as snmpget not working, I have a case open with Cisco on that now...
