[U-Boot] Question about Netconsole

[Detlev Zundel]

Hi Jared,

> I just wanted to let you know that I got Netconsole to work on my board.

Ok, so I was actually head on :)

Why not post your changes and let others share your improvement?  Even
if it is of hackish nature, I'm sure that when you CC Ben Warren
(network custodian) he will also share his opinion on how to do it "the
right way".

> Thank you for your suggestion.  I really appreciate your help.

Glad that I could help.

Cheers
  Detlev
