This may be a result of your switch.
Some switches cannot handle multiple instaces of the same
mac address.  If your switch is capable of creating vlans,
create 2 vlans and put one of the nics on each channel.

My standard bond configuration looks like this using redhat:
in /etc/modules.conf
alias eth0 3c59x
alias eth1 3c59x
alias bond0 bonding

/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-bond0
DEVICE=bond0
ONBOOT=yes
BOOTPROTO=static
IPADDR=192.168.1.11
NETMASK=255.255.255.0
GATEWAY=192.168.1.1

/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0
DEVICE=eth0
USERCTL=no
ONBOOT=yes
MASTER=bond0
SLAVE=yes
BOOTPROTO=none

/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth1
DEVICE=eth1
USERCTL=no
ONBOOT=yes
MASTER=bond0
SLAVE=yes
BOOTPROTO=none


Hope this helps.
