[Jessie] Is there a way to delay bonding interface initalization to happen after network driver is up
I have 2 machines(IBM servers). Both use bnx2 NIC driver but one is VERY
slow to boot thru kernel (2.3s vs 27s)
Config is:
auto bond508
allow-hotplug bond508
iface bond508 inet static
address 1.2.3.4/24
slaves eth0.508 eth1.508
bond-mode active-backup
on "fast" one it "just" works, NIC is initialized first, VLAN
interfaces are created, bond adds them and everything works
on "slow" one bond starts with no interfaces because ifup happens
before NIC driver settled (eth0/1 are not in the system),
it looks like that

then NIC boots:

I *can* make it work on boot if I define eth interfaces separately:
iface eth0.508 inet manual
bond-master bond508
bond-mode active-backup
but that is not exactly pretty solution... is there a way to force
bonding interfaces to get up only after required devices are up ?
