It also mis-handles negative values in a similar manner.

Adding a check seems to fix things:

    struct ifnet *cyg_snmp_get_if(int if_num) {
      int index = 0;
      struct ifnet *ifp;
    
      if (if_num <= 0)
        return NULL;
      
      do {

    [...]      

It should also probably check to make sure index doesn't go off
then end of if_addrs[] when large positive numbers are passed.
Perhaps something like this:

struct ifnet *cyg_snmp_get_if(int if_num)
  {
    int index = 0;
    struct ifnet *ifp;

    if (if_num == 0)
      return NULL;

    do
      {
        while (0 == ifnet_addrs[index] && index < if_index)
          index++;

        if (index >= if_index)
          return NULL;

        ifp = ifnet_addrs[index]->ifa_ifp;

        if_num--;
        index++;
      }
    while (if_num);

    return ifp;
  }
