>Description:
With Intel 82473E NICs, the BMC cannot receive IPMI-over-LAN traffic after loading or enabling the if_em driver.
>How-To-Repeat:
Get a machine with BMC enabled Intel 82573E NIC, and try to "ifconfig" the "em" interfaces.
Then the BMC will stop responding to the IPMI-over-LAN traffic.
>Fix:
Disable the CRC stripping in the if_em driver.
Proposed fix : Add an "em.disable_crc_stripping" option to the if_em driver.
