I hit a problem when attempting to upgrade to kernel 3.17.2 on a particular server. Some time between 3.13 and 3.17, the bonding driver has stopped accepting ppp devices, instead throwing an error that the MAC address cannot be changed. (And does not allow this to be forced)
I suspect it's unlikely.. but has anyone here encountered this issue and found a solution?
I have two upstream PPPoEs to different ISPs. I don't bond them, but I have policy routing magick to send replies out the correct link (without bothering with BGP and an AS): http://cyber.com.au/~twb/doc/dual-uplink.txt No idea if that's a usable plan B for your setup.
Alternatively.. do you know where the right place to file bug report about this would be? It's been a while since I've filed anything against the linux kernel itself.
If it's a stock kernel, complain to your distro. If you're compiling it yourself, have you double-checked that you haven't accidentally =n'd something you need for bonds to accept pppN?
