Netconsole performance (2 replies)

I have a pogoplug e02 running: U-Boot 2014.07-tld-2 (Sep 20 2014 - 00:52:18)

Net console lags, when I type in ? it takes 30-45 seconds to display. In the serial console when booting it says:

host x.x.x.x is alive
Using egiga0 device

Five times in a row (x of course redacted). Is that normal?

Here is my printenv:
