[Sussex] Bonding silly

[Brendan Whelan]

Hello,

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.

Can anyone spot the error?

Thanks, Brendan
