Baseband Management Controller.  It's the separate NIC (sometimes it's
piggy-backed on a NIC) used for remote management of motherboards.
Usually includes IPMI support.  Depending on the motherboard, it may
even include support for keyboard/video/mouse redirection and
serial-over-lan and all that other remote management stuff.
