Hi.

I was in need to use netconsole to trace some lock
of my sata disk, but my onboard network card (sis900)
seems doesn't support net poll.
So searching the web I found out an old patch for enabling
in under 2.4, and ported it to 2.6.10 (looking
also into 2.6.x device drivers already working)

Seems to be ok, netconsole works without issues.
Hope that's ok and can be useful.

Matteo Brancaleoni.
