netconsole over pppoe



All it takes is a few pluggin in and pulling out of USB devices to cause kernel 3.8 to panic.

I can take a picture with a camera of the screen and send it to
somebody, but I would rather try

http://www.cmdln.org/2009/01/21/remote-kernel-logging-with-netconsole-for-fun-and-profit/

But it says I need the MAC address,

however I am on PPPOE over ADSL so

# netstat -rn #just says
Kernel IP routing table
Destination     Gateway         Genmask         Flags   MSS Window  irtt Iface
0.0.0.0         0.0.0.0         0.0.0.0         U         0 0          0 ppp0
168.95.98.254   0.0.0.0         255.255.255.255 UH        0 0          0 ppp0
192.168.44.0    0.0.0.0         255.255.255.0   U         0 0          0 eth0

OK, so now I turn to wireshark to get the MAC address,

http://ask.wireshark.org/questions/15824/display-mac-address-in-the-packet-list

but of course that doesn't work for me either.

Why can't somebody make a shell script for me, so that after I connect to the internet,

it starts logging that kernel stuff to my Dreamhost Personal VPS,
(where I supposedly will run the netcat stuff to log to a file.)

P.S., please CC me as I am at my uncle's house today.
