No, that does not work. On a different host, that has an dedicated IPMI
NIC, I have a dropdown with the alternatives Dedicated, Share and Failover
but on this I only have a grayed out Share, no alternatives and no choices.
So this seems to be something hardwired in the MB.
I will do a PR on the hit stuff.

also.

I assume you should be able to configure the NIC thru IPMI (quote from
Google-found thread:
... "go to ipmi panel and choose "share" for "Lan Interface" ...).
Btw, after you finished resolving the issue and collecting facts, please
consider filing a Problem Report with FreeBSD - that device hint
disabling em0 and bringing down both em0 and em1 interfaces should be
looked at by devs, I guess - after all, they should be two independent
net ports, as they have two distinct MACs.
I believe you said em0 is LAN, and em1 is IPMI.
