Pretty much any motherboard made by MSI, Asus, Asrock or Gigabyte, especially 
the ones marketed for gamers. Workstation/server motherboards should be fine 
though. iPMI is less of an issue on ws/server mobos since it usually runs only 
over its own separate ethernet controller.
Funny story, few weeks ago I helped my friend put together a gaming PC. The 
motherboard didn't even POST correctly until we connected the ethernet cable so 
it could update itself. Utterly terrifying.
