[Freeipmi-devel] Re: [bug #24300] ipmiconsole cannot connect to various Intel servers

[Al Chu]

Hey Bryan, Andrew,

I looked more closely and I think I found the Intel 2.0 authentication
workaround issues that prohibited ipmi-chassis from working.  I also
gave the "activate payload" command an intel specific tweak so that
ipmiconsole can hopefully now connect for a SOL session.  

So hopefully this release will fix them.  Could you give the tar.gz
below a shot?  Also, could you tell me what motherboards you are testing
against?  So I can add it into the documentation.

release/freeipmi-0.7.4.beta1.tar.gz

Thanks,
Al

P.S.  Remember to use the "intel20" workaround flag.
