Thanks! I'll be in the test lab again tomorrow, I will test it and let
you know.

I will send you the product id tomorrow from the lab.

You are right - with unrecognized states it's best to return a warning -
the option --ignore-unrecognized-events is a good idea!

Thanks for this info. As we have a wide range of Supermicro systems in
our portfolio, I'll pass this to our q/a team so that we can all systems
if sensors are recognized by FreeIPMI. Whenever we find OEM sensors,
which cannot be interpreted we will just let you know on the
Freeipmi-devel list.

best regards,
Werner
