IPMI BMC IP address not detected when there are multiple BMC NICs

[Christopher Berner]

I have a ASUS RS400-E8-PS2, which has 2 LAN ports for management. One
dedicated to the BMC, and one that's shared with the OS's LAN1. The
dedicated one is mapped to LAN channel 1, and the shared one is mapped to
LAN channel 8. If I use the dedicated port, MaaS automatic enlistment works
fine. However, when trying to use the shared port it fails, because
bmc-config returns 0.0.0.0 for the IP address, unless --lan-channel=8 is
used.
I hacked maas_ipmi_autodetect.py to use --lan-channel=8. However, is there
a better solution? And if not, would you take a patch that attempts to
auto-detect the correct LAN channel to use?

Best,
Christopher
