Ok, i have a patch for a new config called network-console-dhcp.cfg.
Does anyone know a better name?

But for the sake of consistency - network-console seems to be some kind
of standard name across architectures - i also looked into the oldsys
module and how i can hook the linkstation there. Can i assume that
/proc/device-tree is always enabled on kirkwood kernels? I need to the
the model property from there.

I guess using oldsys and therefore network-console.cfg is less confusing
for a user; assuming that files from network-console-dhcp.cfg end up in
a directory called network-console-dhcp/.
