I enslave wlan0 and i already use use_carrier=1; The default for bonding is use_carrier=1, which makes bonding use the device driver's netif_carrier_on/off state for link detection. Bonding only checks via ethtool/mii if use_carrier=0. >I'll try arp monitoring but this is annoying i c'ant test localhost. Is there a way to test localhost with arp, without pass through lo ? What do you mean by "test localhost with arp, without pass through lo"? ARP monitoring issues probes (ARPs) to a remote destination to confirm that there is connectivity; I'm not sure what localhost has to do with it. In general, though, I have not tested bonding with wireless adapters, so I'm unfamiliar with how well it does or does not work. -J --- -Jay Vosburgh, IBM Linux Technology Center, fubar@us.ibm.com
