Major Description
There is no support for detecting Netgear devices, I only got two the same here, which solely identifies themselves in the sysdecr as "GS108Tv2".
There is also:
$ snmpwalk -v2c -c public hostname |grep -i netgear
iso.3.6.1.2.1.1.9.1.3.3 = STRING: "NETGEAR Reference"
iso.3.6.1.2.1.1.9.1.3.20 = STRING: "NETGEAR Switching - Layer 2"
iso.3.6.1.2.1.1.9.1.3.24 = STRING: "NETGEAR Radius MIB"
iso.3.6.1.2.1.1.9.1.3.27 = STRING: "The NETGEAR Private MIB for Mgmt Security"
iso.3.6.1.2.1.1.9.1.3.28 = STRING: "NETGEAR Flex QOS Support"
iso.3.6.1.2.1.1.9.1.3.29 = STRING: "NETGEAR Flex QOS ACL"
iso.3.6.1.2.1.1.9.1.3.30 = STRING: "NETGEAR Flex QOS COS"
iso.3.6.1.2.1.1.9.1.3.33 = STRING: "NETGEAR Flex QOS DiffServ Private MIBs' definitions"
iso.3.6.1.2.1.1.9.1.3.34 = STRING: "NETGEAR Flex QOS DiffServ Private MIBs' definitions"
which might make this detection much better, or at least will allow other netgear models to be detected.
/opt/observium/includes/definitions/os.inc.php
$os = "netgear";
$config['os'][$os]['text'] = "Netgear Ethernet Switch";
$config['os'][$os]['type'] = "network";
$config['os'][$os]['icon'] = "netgear";
/opt/observium/includes/discovery/os/netgear.inc.php
<?php
if (!$os)
{
if (preg_match("/^GS108Tv2/", $sysDescr))Unknown macro: { $os = "netgear"; }}
?>

The wiki currently says:
"bad reporting of sysDescr, no port names, no mac addresses"
sysdescr is indeed just "GS108Tv2" which does not contain a vendor name indeed and that is silly.
But port names and MAC addresses are definitely there.
mmm, would it maybe be an idea to populate the wiki or another repository with snmpwalks of various devices, especially in a svn/git repo or so that would allow scripts to be run against them to check when a new feature gets added that something works properly or not.....
I don't have edit on the wiki (and it seems one needs to request an account) otherwise I would update the netgear entry to reflect the above and also add that:
'APC Smart-UPS 1000 + NMC' works perfectly (sysdecr: "APC Web/SNMP Management Card MB:v4.0.1 PF:v6.0.6 PN:apc_hw05_aos_606.bin AF1:v6.0.6 AN1:apc_hw05_sumx_606.bin MN:AP9631 HR:05 SN: ........... MD:10/10/2013) (Embedded PowerNet SNMP Agent SW v2.2 compatible)")
and also:
CP1515n: "HP ETHERNET MULTI-ENVIRONMENT,SN:......,FN:.......,SVCID:19070,PID:<name> HP Color LaserJet CP1515n"

See note about netgear.
I added my netgear switches same way, but, in fact, their (netgear) snmp support is a bit retarded.
Just in case, this should be trivial priority, not major, does not seem I can change that though.
(of course, I do hope somebody looks at it at one point, but I am sure that happens when more pressing things are handled 
As the sysObjectId was requested for the ZyXel, here is it for the Netgear:
$ snmpget -v2c -c comm device iso.3.6.1.2.1.1.2.0
iso.3.6.1.2.1.1.2.0 = OID: iso.3.6.1.4.1.4526.100.4.18
