I would like to see this included in the mainstream kernel eventually. You can get it at http://home.attbi.com/~minyard. It should work on any kernel version, although you will have to fix up the Config.in and Makefile, and the Configure.help stuff may not work (it's currently in the 2.4 location). The web page has documentation on the driver, and documentation is included in the patch, too. This is a fairly full-featured driver with a watchdog, panic event generation, full kernel and userland access to the driver, multi-user/multi-interface support, and emulators for other IPMI device drivers. -Corey minyard@acm.org
