I intend to comment further later, but for now... FC3 users are invited to use the test kernels here: http://people.redhat.com/linville/kernels/fc3/ I have incorporated the bonding driver from 2.6.12-rc2 plus the bonding sysfs patches (along with some unrelated patches) to the current FC3 kernel sources. If you are an FC3 user and you want to experiment w/ these changes, this is the easiest way for you to do so. I'd love to hear feedback, either on the lists or directly to this address.
