Bug#987842: ifenslave: non-trivial bonding configuration fails
Package: ifenslave
Version: 2.11
Severity: serious
Only trivial configurations with no per-slave configurations seem to
work. I.e. the example in /usr/share/doc/ifenslave/examples/two_ethernet
works.
However, the example in /usr/share/doc/ifenslave/examples/two_hotplug_ethernet
does not - the slave devices are never added to the bondX device.
I believe this is caused by ifup bringing up the slave interfaces,
and the kernel refuses to add "UP" interfaces to a bondX device.
Version 2.9 in buster does not exhibit this problem, and can be used
on bullseye to demonstrate this regression from buster.
