I will keep an eye on it. While that might allow multiple eth1394 interfaces to be bonded, I believe the user wanted to bond an eth1394 interface with a normal Ethernet interface, and I don't think that will work even with the IPoIB bonding changes, since bonding of different fundamental types of network interfaces still won't be supported, and I'm pretty sure eth1394 is not considered a standard Ethernet interface (different MAC address format for one thing). -Bill ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc.
