Any improvements to that code will be welcome. I haven't reviewed your patch thoroughly, but it seems to be sane(I did give it very quick look on day one).

However, personally I think this project needs more than that. One the other hand, if it was true, I guess things would be different. The "message" I've received was: ``it's broken, fix it''. And it's not just you. It seems to me like expectations of this project have apparently shifted, which is good and bad. Good, because vendors might be forced to invest into this project. And bad, I'd say it has shifted beyond what I can do in my free time. > I guess I will create entries in your bug tracker to address those issues. > Actually, I already did: > https://sourceforge.net/p/ipmitool/bugs/321/ > https://sourceforge.net/p/ipmitool/bugs/322/ > > Who knows, maybe you or anyone else will fix it before we do. > I don't have access to IPMI capable HW nor have IPMI related job anymore. Also, I'm quite struggling to find time for this project lately. Nevertheless, it's good to have these, or any issues, logged and be aware of bugs. And yeah, hopefully somebody will fix it one day - be it me or somebody else. I have this module in my sights and will try to replace parts of the code. Hopefully, I won't break anything.
