Thanks Wido for reporting the bug and Fantu for finding the underlying reason why it's not working.
As Fantu said, this code is disabled on Ubuntu Focal. It is extremely unlikely that we will re-enable it given that the code has been disabled because the upstream maintainer doesn't feel comfortable with the its current lack of resources to test this specific path. Upon looking at current state of the code, I see it's still disabled. Personally, I would suggest that if you have the interest and the resources to test this feature, then you could get in touch with the upstream maintainer to get it re-enabled. Since you expressed interest in a PPA with the feature enabled, I am providing you the following: https://launchpad.net/~sergiodj/+archive/ubuntu/freeipmi-unsupported- lan6-config Bear in mind that the PPA is completely unsupported and the package is untested. In other words, use at your own risk. I will demote the importance of this bug to Low in order to reflect my opinion that it is very unlikely that it will be addressed in Ubuntu.
