I added on a rh7 workstation two network cards.
I did the steps described README.ifenslave
I set up two ports on my switch as multitrunk.
Couldn't really test it with speeds of 200 mbit or more
cause the pc i had was too slow with an even slowest hard disk.
The switch though displayed utilisation on both ports which means
that bandwidth loading was active.
Problem though is that if you unplug one of two of the cards the network
is dieing.
Ping will time out one every other packet request.
The documentation says:
5. What happens when a slave dies?
Currently, the ethernet drivers don't really handle this
situation very well. The tulip driver never stalls; it just starts to
throw packets away!
That's pretty much what is happening with my case.
So in other words it does work as a fast network pipe but not as redundant.
