Now, your interpretation seems to be based on the definition of a link aggregation, which I am not really familiar with. Basically, I want to merge connections into one, or at least divide and use them separately, in an easy way. This is not a so-rare situation, is it? E.g. you might be wandering in some zone where you can use the WiFi, but where it is sometimes unavailable, say at specific regions. If you manage to use another connection, for example the one that is given by your mobile phone/smartphone /via/ Bluetooth (which is then connected to the internet through other protocols), it should be possible to switch between these two connections, or to use them simultaneously, if, say, WiFi 's range is too small or WiFi's bandwidth too small compared to the smartphone's one. (Okay, this is not a really realistic example.) You might also share an internet connection with your neighbour, legally, and use it a lot when he does not need it. Then, if you already use ethernet, you can use both connections. But how? -- Merciadri Luca See http://www.student.montefiore.ulg.ac.be/~merciadri/ I use PGP.
