I'm sure that's bug, but I do not know if in kernel or bonding driver. Next - I 
think, that is it critical bug. For corporate sector is bonding on server (I 
think) very important and without link aggregation is that server in large 
network unusable. For example, our network has about 100 PCs (~80 Thin client 
and ~20 full PC) and "throughput in this network" is one of the decisive. So - 
if 12.04 LTS server has bonding without link aggregation - in this case I can't 
upgrade servers from 10.04 LTS to 12.04 LTS.
As I described above, bonding in 10.04 LTS is O.K. - working as failover and as 
link aggregation. But in Precise bonding is working only as failover. Link 
agregation NOT WORKING. You can have several gigabit NICs in bonding, but total 
throughput (bandwidth) to server is only ~1Gbps (for three NICs in Precise is 
3x ~305 Mbits/sec, but for three NICs in Lucid is 3x ~925Mbps).
Precise server has :
- 3.2.0-24-generic #39-Ubuntu SMP Mon May 21 16:52:17 UTC 2012 x86_64 x86_64 
x86_64 GNU/Linux
- Ethernet Channel Bonding Driver: v3.7.1 (April 27, 2011)
- config of bonding is above
