SubjectRe: [Bonding-devel] Re: [PATCH] channel bonding: add support for device-indexed parameters
From
Date
It dos work with RHEL3.  In modules.conf you just need

alias bond0 bonding
options bond0 -o bonding0
alias bond1 bonding
options bond1 -o bonding1

You can add your mode and mii_mon and such on the options lines. It
does work I've used it.
