read the Documentation/networking/bonding.txt (but the caveat is that all
participating devices should have the same IP addresses .. and the routers
they are connected to should have routes for that network .. all of them).
Second idea is (I remember vaguely .. it worked for me once, when I put up
two ISDN lines .. but not too sure) is to have default routes on both (or more?)
interfaces you want to use. I had two ppp devices .... and packets travelling
by both routes! (not duplicates ... once this device .. once the other ..)
Just try .. you might be in for some surprises!
