Re: [Freeipmi-users] ipmi-sensors with Intel SE7210

[Bala.A]

Hi Alexey,

Firstly I thank you for your valuable testing and contribution to FreeIPMI.

I just fixed a bug in ipmi-sensors wrapper call and committed to CVS.  Now
ipmi-sensors should work.  Please pass '-D ssif' argument to ipmi-sensors.

Still there is a bug in IPMI driver selection upon failure.  I will fix it
soon.

Regards,

Bala
