Configuring the LAN interface can be problematic because every BMC seems to
handle it differently.  It may be that things need to be done in a certain
order or with wait states between certain operations.  In some cases when
doing multiple lan setting changes in series the BMC is busy saving one
setting and will get confused (or even crash) if other commands come in too
quickly.  I would try inserting a sleep between each call to "lan set" and
see if that helps...
