It requires BIOS to expose the information the tool uses (SMBIOS 2.6,
or HP's proprietary method).  I know recent Dell and HP servers do,
I'm not aware of any others at this time, nor do I have visibility
into the plans of other vendors.  I don't expect desktops to expose
this information - they have only 1 NIC.
