Re: Squeeze and NIC bonding

Hi there.

Only finding a limited number of posts on this topic - hopefully I didn't
miss it when Googling around .;)

Running Debian Squeeze 6.0.1 and need to bond some NIC cards.

Found a posting at http://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2010/05/msg00829.html
but no answers.  The instructions that I've dug up state that you should
install ifenslave (done) and then:

edit /etc/network/interfaces to look like this:
iface bond0 inet static
address 10.31.1.5
netmask 255.255.255.0
network 10.31.1.0
gateway 10.31.1.254
up /sbin/ifenslave bond0 eth0
up /sbin/ifenslave bond0 eth1

add the following lines to your /etc/modprobe.d/arch/i386:

alias bond0 bonding
options bonding mode=1 miimon=100 downdelay=200 updelay=200

Obviously just an example - but I don't have a /etc/modprobe.d/arch
directory at all?  
Is the bug that has been referenced a few times been fixed?
Any issues with IPv4/IPv6 dual stack?

Thanks for your time,

Paul
