Well I don't. I find that NetworkManager prevents me from setting up ethernet bridges entirely on SL6 unless I simply turn it off. I had a rough couple of months until I figured that out. My number one (probably _only_) complaint about SL is that NetworkManager is on by default. Come to think of it, it's probably why I couldn't get bonded interfaces to work either -- I should revisit my bonded interfaces project now that I know to disable NetworkManager immediately after every installation. I use SL on some high-end servers. ~ Nathan
