No, that does not work. On a different host, that has an dedicated IPMI NIC, I have a dropdown with the alternatives Dedicated, Share and Failover but on this I only have a grayed out Share, no alternatives and no choices. So this seems to be something hardwired in the MB. I will do a PR on th

Well, I already tested this in rc.conf: ifconfig_em0="down" and it didn't help. There is an new IPMI 2.66 vs. my running 2.64 that I will test but unless someone has any other idea, it seems like I am stuck. /glz --On September 18, 2012 11:49:17 + jb wrote: Göran Löwkrantz ismobile.

Thanks for the correction but getting the hint to work didn't help at all. That removed both interfaces and thus all network connectivity. And it still didn't work with the IPMI as the remote console still disappeared when the probing started. The serial port worked up until beasty. /glz --On

No, that won't work. This is the NIC we have traffic over: em1@pci0:3:0:0: class=0x02 card=0x10d315d9 chip=0x10d38086 rev=0x00 hdr=0x00 vendor = 'Intel Corporation' device = '82574L Gigabit Network Connection' class = network subclass = ethernet So to be exact, I

We have a system based on Supermicro X7SPA-HF with IPMI connected via a shared 82574L NIC. We are not using this NIC for anything from the OS but the probing and device attach breaks the IPMI connection so bad FBSD don't see any screen during boot. There is no BIOS flag that disables the NIC fr
