For those of ye running poweredge systems, and are not happy with the
capitalist pigdog ESM modules (which taint the kernel)
Look no further than the OMSA5.

" * OMSA 5.0 is released!.
* Starting with OMSA 5.0, all necessary kernel components are now
fully open source, GPL licensed, and included in kernel.org 2.6.x.
This includes the OpenIPMI drivers/char/ipmi/ipmi* drivers,
drivers/firmware/dell_rbu Remote BIOS Update driver, and
drivers/firmware/dcdbas Dell Base Systems Managment driver. This
should make it much easier to install and run OMSA on a variety of
Linux distributions (userspace library incompatibilities, if any,
notwithstanding).
* OMSA 5.0 has full support for:
o Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 Update 6 or higher
o Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 plus Updates
o Novell/SuSE Linux Enterprise Server 9 Service Pack 3 or higher "
