netconsole does syslog with levels, too. I agree netdump/netconsole have complete awful configuration. I was thinking netlink would be a good configurator.
The kernel printk <foo> prefixes map into syslog quite nicely.
In any case, there is my own active effort into cleaning up netdump to be less x86-specific, and get it ready for mainline.
Maybe we can start discussing converging all these implementations on netdev@oss.sgi.com? (that's where the networking developers live)
