Hmm, I see nothing in that link that says the number is required.  Plus, I
see these in the bonding.txt kernel documentation:

"       Options with textual values will accept either the text name
or, for backwards compatibility, the option value.  E.g.,
"mode=802.3ad" and "mode=4" set the same mode."

"BONDING_MODULE_OPTS="mode=active-backup miimon=100""

What's more, I think the textual mode references make more sense to the
non-expert Linux admin -- especailly someone who used to be a  Windows admin
and is used to Windows NIC "teaming".  But this is just my opinion :-).

So, having said that, I tried the number and no-dice.

After reading that article -- which is by no means clear as to what bug it's
referring to -- it may be that I require both the BONDING_OPTS in the
ifcfg-bond0 and 1 files _AND_ the modprobe.conf entries.  Is that how anyone
else reads it?
