ifenslave is nothing more than a shell script, putting some values into

text and licensing stuff.

Just load the bonding module and do something like

for slave in eth0 eth1
  ip link set $slave down
  echo "+$slave" > /sys/class/net/bond0/bonding/slaves
done
ip link set bond0 up



Thanks Sven for pointing this out, I never dug into that package. That's great if the bonding module is included in the Debian installer. So yes, indeed all I need is the few lines you mention plus an extra setting for the bond mode which I want it to be 802.3ad (/sys/class/net/bond0/bonding/mode).
