You can use kgdboe as a kernel built-in or a module regardless of if your ethernet driver is a module or built-in.
The only restriction is that you cannot using kgdbwait to stop the kernel prior to starting the user space unless you have kgdboe and the ethernet driver as builtins. Obviously regardless of how you build it, the ethernet driver must correctly implement the NETPOLL API. Jason Neo Jia wrote: > hi, > > I am trying kgdb over ethernet.

There's still time to save $100.
