tools/netconsole: new script for working with netconsole over UDP

Browse Source

can be interrupted by pressing ^T (CTRL-T).
The script uses netcat to talk to the board over UDP. It requires you to
specify the target IP address (or host name, assuming DNS is working). The
script can be interrupted by pressing ^T (CTRL-T).
Be aware that in some distributives (Fedora Core 5 at least)
