And, after getting the network guys to configure the Cisco 5500, put another tulip based ethernet card in a machine (two cards now), getting and compiling ifenslave, realizing that redhat 5.1 ifup gets it the slave order wrong (they do slave/master, and it's master/slave)

Missing kernel software!
you can setup a recieve only bundle doing this, but you can't send anything down the spare channels.
