We recently acquired a shiny new 2950, and were able to load an un- stripped version of the module (looks like somebody beat me to the patch on that), but it stubbornly refuses to create /dev/ipmi0 (additionally, the system hangs hard when trying to UNload the module -- I'll have a chance to investigate that in a little more detail on Monday when I'm back near the console - I'm not sure if the whole machine is hung, or if it's just blown up the network (bce driver)) We have at least 2-3 weeks before this system goes into production (possibly longer), so I'll be able to troubleshoot and experiment if you have any ideas.
