Re: [Freeipmi-devel] OEM-specific decoding of SEL entries

[Al Chu]

There currently isn't a road-map, just b/c we haven't had a need.  We'd
gladly welcome support.  

I guess somewhere within ipmi-sel we'd have to run the get device id
command (I think that's the one) which can get the manufacturer id.
Then within the sel-output, just do some if statements to convert OEM
sel entries as appropriate.  

This is of course quite high level thought.  Is this what you were
thinking of?
