I'm not sure I'd buy that. If I've put words in >your mouth, forgive me. The primary use case that I'm aware of for bonding with wireless devices is in active-backup mode, paired with an ethernet adapter set as the bonding "primary" device. I think this is the case that absolutely should just work. I don't think bonding cares (or should care) about (a) - (c) for this use. Your point (b) suggests that there are use cases other than the above; I'm unfamiliar with any use other than wifi + ethernet, can you elaborate? -J --- -Jay Vosburgh, jay.vosburgh-Z7WLFzj8eWMS+FvcfC7Uqw@public.gmane.org
