ipmitool will work fine over lan in ports. It will not work to locally read the values. I have an OpenIPMI compatible driver that we use here locally with a patched ipmitool (to fix the wrong IOCTL defines since we care about read/write semantics). We use it at work to read IPMI stuff on PE2850/PE850 and update the BMC firmware via a binary tool on a PE2850. It should work with any IPMI device that is defined in SMBIOS. I have not done ACPI attachment. I implemented the IPMI watchdog to tie into FreeBSD's watchdog code. I like ipmitool since Dell supplies them with patches etc. I probably should check it into -current. It's not all done but good enough to do a bunch of stuff and Tom Rhodes started a man page for it. I work on it as I get time or have new needs for it.
