If the 1950's and 1750's are having problems, what type of response do you get from this command?:

ipmipower -h <bmc ip address> -u <bmc username> -p <bmc password> --stat

Preferably you'll want to run that from the maas server running 14.04. On a very basic level, that's what MAAS is using to bring the nodes up and down. If your MAAS server is not running 14.04 then install freeipmi-tools on another system running 14.04 and see if you can contact the 1950's BMC with it.

In my lab I have an old R805 that was doing simliar things with regard to MAAS picking up the BMC properly. Adding in the ipmi v1.5, ip address, username and password got it working with 14.04 maas.
