I tried check_ifstatus with -v 2  option and getting same message:
 
[root at localhost etc]# /usr/local/nagios/libexec/check_ifstatus -H localhost -v 2 -C public -I -u E1 6/0
CRITICAL: Requested table is empty or does not exist for 1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.8  with snmp version 2

I'll guess the message that "requested table is empty or does not exist for 1.3.6.1.2.1.2.2.1.8"  means that there is something that needs configuring in snmp (???).  I am very green with snmp.

Are you sure the device you are quering is using SNMP v1 ?
most devices come with SNMP2 or even 3 , check the setting of you snmp query and the snmp setting on 
the device to see what version you need to use to check..
