IPMI LAN command story design - try 3rd send

Or, even simpler: allow multiple parameter changes on one invocation:

 ipmitool [...] lan set 1 ipsrc static ipaddr 192.168.0.2 netmask 255.255.255.0

[which changes all parameters under one transition of the set-complete
flag]

Then, there's no need to modify existing users' behaviour, and no
concern about forgetting to apply.
