Oh - bottom :-) presumably you kept one for yourself - are there any distinguishing features on it ?
Yes, I need one for my work :) Here's the device: http://www.plxtech.com/products/NET2000/NET20DC/default.asp and it provides a link at the bottom of the page where to purchase one yourself: http://www.semiconductorstore.com/pages/asp/search.asp?query=net20dc
I tested my netconsole setup by modprobing the ne2k driver in and out (which printk's a message) and that ended up on the other end very nicely. Sadly on total-system-hang, nothing. And of course, X is involved in the hang, I couldn't reproduce it from the console (sadly) => SysRq is not so useful (AFAIK).
SysRq should do the same thing if X is running, unless the entire machine is crashed. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
