What made you think this will work?!

You'd have to write it. Grep for register_console for starters.
But I do not advise it, see below.

If oops happens with interrupts closed, forget about it.
USB needs interrupts to work. This is one of the reasons nobody

You will have a better chance using Ingo's netconsole, if a patch
for your Ethernet driver exists.
