I believe people want it.However, I'm still looking for an answer to the question about the implementation approach. What should a student do, if he wants to work over the summer towards a goal of producing a functional remote over-Ethernet kernel debugger? Write special ipkdb drivers for all the NIC's he has in his posession? I, personally, have no experience in writing device drivers, and I find fighting with hardware bugs and engineering braindamage not particularly attractive.
