RE: [Freeipmi-devel] Simple IPMI 2.0 test

[Cress, Andrew R]

Al,

I tested this against an IPMI 2.0 system here (Jarrell baseboard with
IMM) and it returns these messages:
Remote Machine supports IPMI 1.5
Remote Machine supports IPMI 2.0

Just in case anyone is interested, here is a simple C program to see if
a remote machine supports IPMI 2.0.

Its not dependent on FreeIPMI or any drivers, so its something that can
be used quickly without much hassle.  

I have not actually found an IPMI 2.0 machine that is compliant enough
to test if this actually detects IPMI 2.0 properly.  But it does spit
out a "No go" for definitely non-compliant machines.
