My firmware-revision is 2.3, so I expect you are using the beta-version.

After long searching I found something like that, but I am not sure it
is correct for my card:
ftp://ftp.supermicro.com/CDR-SIMIPMI_1.12_for_SIM_IPMI/IPMI_Solution/Utility/linux_flash_utility_64bit
This is the only place where I found the file ugsim1253.bin:
http://www.filewatcher.com/b/ftp/ftp.mathematik.uni-marburg.de/pub/mirror/supermicro/CDR-SIMIPMI_1.10_for_SIM_IPMI/IPMI_Solution/Utility/linux_flash_utility_64bit.0.0.html
Do you use the kernel driver or the GPC-agent? (I don't use them,
because I don't like close-source on my server)
Thanks for your help!
Met vriendelijke groet,
Paul van der Vlis.
