2012-09-24net: Make the netconsole buffer size configurableJoe Hershberger
Allow a board to configure a larger buffer for netconsole, but leave the default. Signed-off-by: Joe Hershberger <joe.hershberger@ni.com> Cc: Mike Frysinger <vapier@gentoo.org> Acked-by: Mike Frysinger <vapier@gentoo.org>
2012-09-24net: Make netconsole src and dest ports configurableJoe Hershberger
It is desirable to use different port numbers for sending and receiving packets with netconsole in the case where you have more than one device on the local subnet with netconsole enabled for broadcast. When they use the same port for both, any output from one will look like input to the other. This is typlically not desirable. This patch allows the input and output ports to be specified separately in the environment.

2009-09-15tools/netconsole: use ncb automatically if availableMike Frysinger
The standard netcat, while ubiquitous, doesn't handle broadcast udp packets properly. The local ncb util does however. So if ncb can be located in the standard locations, automatically use that instead. Signed-off-by: Mike Frysinger <vapier@gentoo.org>

2008-12-10tools/netconsole: new script for working with netconsole over UDPMike Frysinger
While the doc/README.NetConsole does have a snippet for people to create their own netcat script, it's a lot easier to make a simple dedicated script and tell people to use it. Also spruce it up a bit to make it user friendly. Signed-off-by: Mike Frysinger <vapier@gentoo.org>
