<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Hello,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I had the bonding of the two Ethernet ports on my
test system working. Unfortunately, being a development machine things were
changed and the bonding no longer works. (My business partner calls this
software rot.) Below are details of the various files and output from the
system.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Can anyone spot the error?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thanks, Brendan</FONT></DIV>
