Great!

Unfortunately, the system that caused me to report these problems
is now in production, and I cannot easily test the changes.
Prior to putting it into production I discovered that if I
configured the BMC to use a dedicated VLAN, configured the switch
port as a "trunked port", and then used a different VLAN id for
wm0 in NetBSD, things would actually work.  The IPMI
functionality would then still be available even after NetBSD had
started up.  I probably should have reported this to the
community.  Sorry about that.

I may be able to test your fixes later this year, but it would be
better if someone else, with similar equipment, could test this
before that.
