I wouldn't rush to label our "ifenslave" as obsolete: in version 2.1 Guus 
Sliepen replaced (obsolete) `ifenslave` binary with a tiny shell script. Ever 
since updated "ifenslave" was working very well for me.

Yes, since version 0.9.10.0-2 "network-manager" links to "libteam" but I'm yet 
to see configuration examples how to set-up NM for NIC bonding/teaming and how 
to convert "ifenslave" configuration. Until then NM is not a replacement to 
"ifenslave"...

I see... Do you know if "libteam" support is on the road map?
