I haven't found Documentation/networking/bonding.txt in any of the new
(2.3.x) kernels, is Bonding (esp. F.E.C.) a feature that will only be in
2.2.x?

Is there anyone actively maintaining bonding support?

If not, can someone open a sourceforge.net project and start collecting
information on it?

I think FEC is a pretty great functionality for servers that need more than
100mbps but can't afford 1gbps, and I'm supprised that there isn't more
clamoring for it's inclusion.

Additionally, bonding.txt mentions that HA isn't possible due to the design
of the network card drivers.  Is this limitation being worked on?

I really appreciate your communication,
