Carson,

You should only get zero (IPMI_OEM_UNKNOWN) for the interface manufacturer_id or
returned by ipmi_get_oem()  when the interface has not been successfully opened 
or
the IPMI BMC_GET_DEVICE_ID fails.

Are you using these before the lanplus interface is open?

Is it possible your platform is failing the IPMI BMC_GET_DEVICE_ID command?

There are also LOG_DEBUG and LOG_ERR messages output in ipmi_get_oem() so
you could turn on ipmitool output verbosity to see what is going on.
