Since 1.2 is in a feature-freeze and this is hardly a bug I don't know if
even patches would be accepted for this in 1.2.
Currently its not really that hard:
* install package shellcmd
* add following earlyshellcmds (substitute your ethernet interface
names):
* ifconfig lagg0 create
* ifconfig lagg0 up laggproto lacp laggport em2 laggport em3
* add the following shellcmds:
* ifconfig em2 up
* ifconfig em3 up
* reboot
* you now have a lagg0 interface in Interfaces -> assign
* if you want to assign vlans to it in the gui you have to patch
/usr/local/www/interfaces_vlan_edit.php:
* comment out "if (is_jumbo_capable($ifn)) {", add "{" to parent
foreach
We have done this a few times already, we can do it for you if you want.
Regards,
Aarno
