The system is running with bonded interfaces with (lspi out put)
06:01.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82546EB Gigabit Ethernet
Controller (Copper) (rev 03)
06:01.1 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82546EB Gigabit Ethernet
Controller (Copper) (rev 03)
06:02.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82546EB Gigabit Ethernet
Controller (Copper) (rev 03)
06:02.1 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82546EB Gigabit Ethernet
Controller (Copper) (rev 03)

The system is still "fully functional", and I havent notiched anything
wrong, but there sure is a lot of link ups and downs on that bond.
