Mine does have a BMC and can do both; it should be configured to only
use the dedicated ethernet port for IPMI. But good shout nonetheless,
I'll have to put checking that on the things to do on next reboot.

Slightly relatedly, I also hav a 10G SFP+ copper module in the mail and
I'll be trying that out on the ixg(4) ports (yes, I made sure it's
compatible (this time)).
