Hello everybody, I'm trying to use without success the "channel bonding" with 3 ethernet adatpters "Inter Ether Pro 10/100" ... on a Fedora Core 1.B with a 2.4.22-1.2179.xxx kernel (With Posix Acl patches). The 3 network interfaces (eth0 eth1 & eth2) comes up at boot as I can see on my switch console (at 10/Half or at 100/Full) but my "bond0" don't respond to any incoming or outcoming request ...
