The former interface allows for netconsole activation earlier during boot (by specifying the module parameter on the kernel command line), so it is preferred for debugging issues which arise before userspace is up/the configfs interface can be used. The module parameter syntax requires specifying the egress interface name. This requirement makes it hard to use for a couple reasons: - The egress interface name can be hard or impossible to predict. For example, installing a new network card in a system can change the interface names assigned by the kernel. - When constructing the module parameter, one may have trouble determining the original (kernel-assigned) name of the interface (which is the name that should be given to netconsole) if some stable interface naming scheme is in effect. A human can usually look at kernel logs to determine the original name, but this is very painful if automation is constructing the parameter. For these reasons, allow selection of the egress interface via MAC address when configuring netconsole using the module parameter. Update the netconsole documentation with an example of the new syntax. Selection of egress interface by MAC address via configfs is far less interesting (since when this interface can be used, one should be able to easily convert between MAC address and interface name), so it is left unimplemented.
