Re: [Freeipmi-users] Tyan Thunder S2882 with m3289 bmc module

Thanks for the info.  I still can't get things working though...

Does the 2882_174.mhx rom come directly from Tyan or has it been created
by a third party?  I never flashed with 2882_174.mhx.  Instead, I flashed
with smdc0172_s2882.mhx supplied by Tyan.  Can I get 1.74 from Tyan?  I
havn't been able to find it on their website.

With 1.72 installed, this is what I get:

address@hidden tmp]# bmc-info

Is this a result of not having 1.74 installed?  Using Tyan's Util.exe
program, I am able to set the IP and broadcast addresses but not the
MAC address.

Thanks for any info...
