In terms of the kernel, a bonding master interface is a virtual ethernet device and any ARPHRD_ETHER device may become a slave. It supports a carrier and a MAC address (set to the MAC address of the first slave that provides a MAC address). > (Which may depend to some extent on questions like > "would anyone ever run 802.1x over a bond?") Can't think of a reason why not. _______________________________________________ networkmanager-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/networkmanager-list
