Server A 02:09.0 Ethernet controller: D-Link System Inc RTL8139 Ethernet (rev 10) 02:0c.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82540EM Gigabit Ethernet Controller (rev 02) Server B 01:07.0 Ethernet controller: Macronix, Inc. [MXIC] MX987x5 (rev 25) 01:0c.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82540EM Gigabit Ethernet Controller (rev 02) Of course the Intel NICs are the onboard ones. I found the other two in my "junkyard," so more than likely they're circa 2000. What's your other NIC?

I've moved the D-Link to different slots in Server A when it was assigned the eth1 role. I've tried using different cables; tried with a hub and without; and tried getting an IP with an AP, a Fedora Desktop, and an Ubuntu desktop. I think I've been rather thorough. So based on all that trial and error and messing around, I think I can definitively report that I can not get bonding to work with any of my hardware. I sure hope it's not an issue with the Dell GX270, because our deployment got hold of a couple dozen of them to use as XS's. Anna Schoolfield Birmingham
