A tcpdump trace 1) before promiscuous mode 2) after promiscuous mode 3) after link failure (i.e. failover does not work) would be welcome.
Okay, after fixing STP forwarding delays on the switch, bonding failover now works, as long as member links are forced to promisc mode. Still Have a problem with links randomly failing to achieve link on boot. This then requires a "modprobe -r r8169; modprobe r8169" cycle to get link. Side effect is the mac address corruption I have described previously.
