[DA] I'm pretty sure it is because the ipmi interface rely on DHCP still
being there
after the initial lease expires.  The configuration learned from DHCP is
not persisted
in linux for the ipmi interfaces.  You could argue that I could provision
ipmi separately,
but I'm hooked on cobbler and would like to keep all my provisioning in one
place.
