IPMI 2.0 and Serial over LAN are not supported in FreeIPMI 0.2.0. 
Serial over LAN is supported in IPMI 2.0, so perhaps you that mixed up
with FreeIPMI 2.0.

> 3.And when you are going to release FreeIPMI-0.3.0 with new features.

I'll leave this question to a A.B.  At my current rate of development, I
believe I can complete ipmi 2.0 support in FreeIPMI 0.3.0 by mid-March.
[1]  After that, I will work with AB and Bala to try and development a
serial over LAN daemon.  But I'm not sure what they're schedule holds.

Al

[1] - This is under the condition I get some good hardware to test on. 
If I don't, it could be delayed.
