If i understand you correctly, the network will only be halted once the bootloader starts an operating system. Then what do you think about making either the nc_send_packet() or nc_putc()/nc_puts() function a noop when the network is halted?
It's not quite that simple since the state does not really reflect the hardware (I know... that's my fault). I can try to fix this for next release, but it is probably too risky to put into the April release.
Agreed. Let me know if i can test something for you.
In the mean time a simple work-around is to use silent or nulldev on your target and turn off netconsole as part of your boot script (before you bootm).
I worked around this bug by setting the stdout back to serial just before the bootm command.
