Andy, Thanks for your patience. I am looking into this. (assuming your eth0 device is 80003ES2LAN) Can you provide 'ethtool -e eth0' output?

It seems to always return 0x18006 from the firmware semaphore register, regardless of whether or not the firmware has any IPMI LAN channels enabled or not. This routine is the same in the latest stable e1000e-1.4.4.tar.gz. The code indicates that it is checking for E1000_MNG_IAMT_MODE (3 << 1), and the 0x06 part is always set. Does this mean that the firmware semaphore register bits that are checked apply to Intel AMT, but not to IPMI? Should there be a different routine for IPMI (non-AMT) management systems?
