I am not sure I understand your setup completely ... But as stated in bonding.txt, the ARP monitor requires the underlying driver to update dev->trans_start and dev->last_rx. Since the TUN/TAP driver doesn't maintain these, it could very well explain the behavior you are seeing. The patch below adds the required functionality to the TUN/TAP driver. Please test if this helps in your case. -Tommy
