>IPv6 should catch an event when MAC addresses change, to reassign
to correct link local address.  I don't think the bonding driver
needs to change at all.

IPv6 needs to fix this issue, regardless of bonding.  It is perfectly
legal to change MAC addresses while a link is still up.

This may seem a silly question, but what happens to existing TCP connections when the IPv6 link local address changes?
