Re: Kernel 3.17 (and later) no longer allows bonding ppp devices

Just rebooting a thread a year later..
Thought I'd mention that
a) the teaming driver doesn't support bonding ppp devices
b) the linux kernel bonding driver still hasn't corrected the regression I
reported a year ago.
c) I patched the kernel myself, and thus have a working modern kernel again.
Patch is attached to the bug report below.
d) Linux netdev mailing list pretty much ignored my attempts to get this
sorted out, so I gave up, and will just quietly keep patching my own
kernels.

Figured I'd mention this in case anyone else comes across this thread while
searching for a solution.
