Hmm, I had thought that the "shared" IPMI port was invisible to the OS?
That there was an internal three-port switch, with one port connected to
the physical jack on the back of the server, and then the other two
wired internally to the NIC on the motherboard and the NIC on the BMC?

Do these boxes do something else that actually tweaks with the hardware
on the motherboard NIC when the BIOS is set to shared?
