By default it is enabled.  Interesting that you didn't notice them coming up in 
the OS.

Incidentally, there's talk of making this sort of thing an industry standard 
behavior, and moving away from IPMI KCS to having one of these 'weird' NICs 
everywhere so in-band can use IP instead of /dev/ipmi0.  I'm personally not a 
fan of it, but a lot of folks want to emphasize a pure IP based approach to 
BMCs.

Thanks Christian!

The LanOverUsb setting does appear to affect that behavior.

An interesting tidbit is that all my systems had LanOverUsb Enabled.
It's surprising to me that almost 28% of them did not create the virtual 
ethernet. I would expect consistent behavior across all systems.

As a test, I disabled the LanOverUsb setting and re-installed 8 nodes and none 
of the 8 have the virtual interface now.

Cheers,
