I think the "biggest" problem with the Supermicro cards is the "wimpy" packet sizes they use (this is to be true of 1U-IPMIB and LP-IPMILANG). Using icmp, you can probe the 1U-IPMIB with increasing sized pings (LANG doesn't respond to ICMP echo requests) and see that the 1U-IPMIB stops responding to ICMP's >=275B (317B packets). And, if you sniff, you'll find that it sends no packets larger than 186B (neither the 1U-IPMIB nor LP-IPMILANG, both run the same firmware). Is this typical with all BMC's? Thanks!
