You're not doing anything wrong here; check_snmp can't interpret floats,
so instead of using laLoad.x you use laLoadInt.x which multiply the
value by 100 to avoid decimals.

All you have to do is to multiply thresholds by 100. Ex. is you want to
warn at 8,6,4 and alert at 16,12,8 then you'll use these thresholds:

-w 800,600,400 -c 1600,1200,800
