Hi Guy,

Sorry, I confused Storage NetFn with S/E, so the implementation of Ethereal
is right!

Thanks for your detailed explanation.

Regards,
Joseph

Actually, that bug doesn't appear to be in the current CVS version.

Command codes are decoded by "get_netfn_cmd_text()", which takes a
NetFn value and a CMD value as arguments.

If the NetFn value is 0x04 or 0x05, the CMD value is decoded with the
"ipmi_se_cmd_vals[]" table, which has "Get Device SDR Info" for 0x20
and "Get Sensor Reading Factors" for 0x23.

Only if the NetFn value is 0x0a or 0x0b does it use the
"ipmi_storage_cmd_vals[]" table, which has "Get SDR Repository Info"
for 0x20 and "Get SDR" for 0x23, as it should, at least according to
the 1.5 rev 1.1 IPMI spec.

If you have a capture that appears to show the wrong command name,
check that the NetFn value is 0x04 or 0x05; if it is, send it to us, so
we can figure out why the wrong table is being used.
