Yes, it's possible. I did it with a raspberry pi for a short time. As others have stated, bonding and bridging are 2 separate things... Hopefully you know which one you want. Bridge is like creating a switch out of some ports (like the LAN ports of a home router), bonding (agr) is for attaching

Yeah. I've got some hardware that should work, Raspberry Pi, Seagate Dockstar, etc. The problem I ran into was that bridging my USB wifi adapter to the internal interface was very flaky. It was dropping some frames and passing others. A kind soul gave me a patch to run tcpdump on the bridge
