For now I am leaving it as is.  I would LIKE to change the pogo's IP 
address out of my dhcp range to a static area.  But that would change 
this netconsole setup, I think.  And changing the dhcp settings will 
change where the notebook ends up.  I suppose I could set the notebook 
and the pogo to get fixed addresses via dhcp from their MAC and move the 
dhcp range for now.  Sigh so much to do.
