PAgP for EtherChannel is for two Cisco devices that can autonegegotiate EtherChannel. Setting EtherChannel to desirable or any other negotiable state will never form a channel because the two NICs don't understand PAgP. Keep it on "on" and I think you may need some sort of Channeling software for the NICs as well to utilize Etherchannel. But this I could be wrong on, so if I am please correct me.
