what is the contents of your "bonding files"

manually..

   modprobe bonding
   ifconfig bond0 1.2.3.4 netmask 255.255.255.0 broadcast 1.2.3.255 up
   ifenslave bond0 eth0
   ifenslave bond0 eth1

ifconfig -v
	- should list bond0, eth0, eth1 all responding to 1.2.3.4
	and if you unplug eth0 or eth1, it will still work

	- if it's working right .. you whoudl be able to run 2x faster
	with   "scp -p /somedir/100MB.db   y:/someplaceelse "
