At this stage I'm not doing anything with the interfaces beyond trying plug in a cable and configure an IP with ifconfig. A few more details that might be worth mentioning: * The system does have the built-in Integrated Management Module (IMM) that has its own dedicated Ethernet port. I've done nothing with it. * If you do happen to plug a cable into this management NIC, within a few seconds the box does a reboot (!) I'll test the patch within a couple days. Thanks!
