SNMP plugin warn/critical range issues?

That having been said, how can one get the warning and critical ranges to
include negative numbers?  Some of these radios report signal strength in
dBm; negatives are the norm.

  No, I'm just insane.  I missed the word 'not' apparently.  My bad.

    Ok, the SNMP plugin seems to assume that higher values is better.

    To elaborate: I'm checking signal strength on some wireless radios.
0-25 would be critical, 26-35 would be warning, and 36+ would be all systems
go.

    ./check_snmp -H 111.222.111.222 -o .1.3.6.1.4.1.762.2.5.2.1.7.1
    SNMP OK - 72

    Fine.

    ./check_snmp -H 111.222.111.222 -o .1.3.6.1.4.1.762.2.5.2.1.7.1 -w
26:35 -c 0:25
    SNMP CRITICAL - *72*


    Now, 72 isn't between 26 and 35, and it isn't between 0 and 25.  Am I
misinterpreting the help file, or am I just insane? :-)
