Hey Bernd, There are some ASUS ipmi compliance problems (confirmed by ASUS folks) but I don't know about if there are any firmware fixes out there. If you take a look at the manpage, under "Workarounds" you can find (currently) 3 workarounds I put into ipmiconsole for Asus motherboards (please let me know if your motherboard is not listed there, and I can add it to the list). The problem you're hitting below is almost assuredly the "authcap" issue. The "solpayloadsize" and "solport" are two others that may/may-not exist on your motherboard.
PLMK if those workarounds work out for you. Al P.S. If you/others are curious why ipmitool works by default, it's actually related to an architectural decision.
