The only bonding driver and ifenslave that worked for me was the patched
version from http://sourceforge.net/projects/bonding . It runs fine over a
quad starfire card, with vlans over it (ben's patch). You might consider
packaging the ifenslave from that patch, and packaging the bonding driver
as a kernel patch...
