| I have checked the motherboard specification.  It seems you are using
| Default mBMC (Tier 1 -- Essentials).  The default mBMC version does not
| support many features.  I think, mBMC does not listen in standard KCS port
| or there is no KCS interface.
| 
| Intel says, there are Flexible Management Module (Standard and Advanced
| version) for this motherboard, which is supporting IPMI 2.0.
| 
| freeipmi 0.1.3 supports KCS interface for in-band operations.  We need to
| have KCS in this motherboard.
| 
| You can check Intel tools with this motherboard and let me know they are
| working or not.
| 
| BTW, you can try freeipmi cvs source version.  We are very close for next
| freeipmi release.

mBMC uses SSIF (SMBus) interface. Our next release GNU FreeIPMI 0.2.0
release will include support for mBMC.
