The part with the commands to define the IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway is still missing.
Enable and configure network settings:
ipmitool lan set 1 ipaddr x.x.x.x ipmitool lan set 1 defgw ipaddr x.x.x.x ipmitool lan set 1 netmask 255.255.255.0 ipmitool lan set 1 access on

Added that info to the docs and also cleaned up the rest of the info so it's all consistent.
