Public bug reported: As it seems still to be missing, I'd like to suggest a hint or an example in the man page (or a link there to external information) how ifenslave is used when specifying bonding interfaces in /etc/network/interfaces. Inspired by https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ifenslave-2.6/+bug/1015199 I found out the following things which need to be clearified (i.e. should be clear after reading the man page): 1.) Does the order of interfaces matter in /etc/network/interfaces (it shouldn't...) 2.) What stanzas to write: auto? allow-bondX? both, none? 3.) What means <code>bond-slaves none</code>? 5.) If it is necessary to invoke <code>ifup slave0 && ifup slave1 && ... </code> before <code>ifup bond0</code>, how can anyone use bonded interfaces with auto stanza? (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ifenslave-2.6/+bug/1073820 is fixed, but I don't understand WHAT has been fixed) 6.) Which are other ways to configure a bonding interface -> EXAMPLES!!
