Bug#611250: please support network bonding

[Martin Zobel-Helas <zobel@debian.org>]

Package: netcfg
Severity: wishlist
Tags: d-i

Hi,

it would be nice if the debian-installer could support network bonding
on several interfaces. This will probably need additional questions
during the installation process:

* slave interfaces
* bonding mode
  + balance-rr
  + active-backup
  + balance-xor
  + broadcast
  + 802.3ad
  + balance-tlb
  + balance-alb
* Link check interval (maybe with a reasonable default)

Bonus points, if this later can then also be combined with vlan support,
so i can haz bond0.330 :)


Cheers,
Martin
