Do you mean that you have two MIB definitions for the same OID with
different enumerations? If yes, complain about it at the vendor of
your cards. It is not legal to change SMI definitions.
If you have two MIB definitions for the same MIB label with different
OIDs and different enumerations, just make sure you use the correct
OID by prefixing the descriptor with the module name. See the mib(n)
man page which discusses globally unique names.
