In my experience (granted, i've not tried this with gentoo), bonding
only works when both or all nics in the trunk are the same chipset,
same driver. I'd be astonished if you could bond the wireless nic
with a wired one. If the other two are the same chipset, you will
have more luck, but remember that the network device ( i.e. switch)
into which they are plugged must also support bonding.
