Switch *port* or *port[s]*. Your original email said you're linking to
two separate switches, one attached to each NIC.
Which bonding mode are you using (0-6)? If you are using mode 4 this
won't work with two switches. 802.3ad requires both bonded ports be on
the same switch, and the switch must be manually programmed for this.
Configuring mode 4 on your Linux host with each cable going to a
different switch may very likely cause the bogus mii-tool output for the
bonded link.
Give us _all_ of the technical details of how you _want_ this setup and
how you currently have it setup so that we may better help you.
