RE: ipmi(4) (IPMI MIB?)

I've been working on better sensor information for openBSD but lack reliable
access to a platform to develop on (a friend has been doing what he can).

At present we only have the LM-SENSORS-MIB to communicate to deliver this
information on, and it was really tailored for the LM75 chip, which provides
limited information.  We need a better MIB.

If it's not in hardware, it can't be populated.
