[U-Boot] [PATCH] tools/netconsole: make a bit more robust and use ncb when possible

[Wolfgang Denk]

Dear Mike Frysinger,

In message <1231493902-7043-1-git-send-email-vapier at gentoo.org> you wrote:

When would "ncb" not be available?

What else are the implications when using ncb versus netcat?

Why does your script tools/netconsole so far use netcat only, when we
have the (as I read it) much better ncb anyway?

Best regards,

Wolfgang Denk
