Just rebooting a thread a year later.. Thought I'd mention that a) the teaming driver doesn't support bonding ppp devices b) the linux kernel bonding driver still hasn't corrected the regression I reported a year ago. c) I patched the kernel myself, and thus have a working modern kernel again. Patch is attached to the bug report below. d) Linux netdev mailing list pretty much ignored my attempts to get this sorted out, so I gave up, and will just quietly keep patching my own kernels. Figured I'd mention this in case anyone else comes across this thread while searching for a solution. Toby On Thu, 4 Dec 2014 at 16:57 Tim Connors <tim.w.connors@gmail.com> wrote:

I never did manage to get things running on 3.17.4 (latest stable) and couldn't see anything promising committed to latest release candidate, so have submitted a bug report: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=89161
Have not as yet tried reverting just that commit as there's always too much other stuff to be doing in the day :(
I know who works in a corporate environment :) (caught myself topposting the other day, just in the nick of time).
Have you tried the teaming driver? They seem to be phasing out the bonding driver in favour of team. But I've never seen team in action, so don't know how it compares.
