Subject: netconsole on bnx2 not working?

Hi

I am trying to run netconsole on Dell PowerEdge 1950, equipped with two
Broadcom NIC, without any success.

Tried to load netconsole on eth1 and eth0 (interface was renamed by udev), and
after that i am loading ppp_generic (which generate some data in kernel log).
Watching by tcpdump on remote, and local host - nothing is shown there.

The same time i am testing on RTL8139, same commands(just ip/mac different,
and sure machine is different) work fine.

Is any specific reason for that here? How i can debug this issue?
Do i need to enable netpoll for that?

I tried to create target over configfs, without any luck. Still no data is sent.

visp-1 test # pwd
/config/netconsole/test
visp-1 test # ls
dev_name  enabled  local_ip  local_mac  local_port  remote_ip  remote_mac 
remote_port
visp-1 test # grep "" *
