Hey Dave,
I think I may have fixed a problem that may be the problem for atleast
one of the problems you listed below. Could you check out this tar.gz
and let me know that it works?
http://ftp.zresearch.com/pub/freeipmi/qa-release/freeipmi-0.7.10.beta0.tar.gz
The appropriate changelog entry.

* common/src/toolcommon/tool-common.c: Attempt OpenIPMI and SunBMC
drivers first, since they cannot be discovered via probing, and to
avoid accidently using the KCS driver first.
Thanks,
Al
