in-band support? about bmc

[gebn]

Hi @johnnybubonic, I have no need for in-band access I'm afraid, but happy to advise on a PR.

For Supermicro specifically, SUM might be able to activate the license locally. This definitely sounds like something it should be able to do.

Yeah, already leveraging SUM for the actual activation but needed a way to get the BMC MAC locally. I'll have to revisit this.

If its of any use, I've been working on a Go library that wraps around various hardware vendor utilities - https://github.com/metal-toolbox/ironlib/ to expose a common set of interface methods.
