Hi,

the purpose of an ILO card is to show you the desktop/console of the connected system remotely. There's also a lot of other stuff that you can perform with the ILO card using it's web interface. But to use it's interface you need to connect via LAN, therefore the ethernet port on the ILO card cannot by used for anything else and as far as I know it's not visible to the operating system itself. Adding a new ethernet card is the best solution in this situation.
