IPMIDRV 1004 errors on Windows 2008 R2 - M600 blades

Since updating firmware on all our M600 blades in order to attempt to resolve another issue ( http://www.delltechcenter.com/thread/4353610/M1000e+fans+and+the+M610x...what%27s+happening%3F), we have started to have problems with various network connections randomly dropping out - usually for about 10 minutes - before returning with no intervention. The whole time, the following error is logged in the Windows System event log:

Log Name: System

Can anyone enlighten me as to what the problem might be?
We've had these errors on at least 5 of our 8 M600s, all on Windows 2008 R2.
