The goal is to be able to work while on the docking station through the wire, and be able to disconnect from the docking station and start using the wireless with no interruption. eth1 is a wireless interface using the ipw2200 module. eth0 is wired using e100. I recompiled my kernel to include bonding support and also recompiled my network drivers as modules.
I looked around online and found
http://www.linuxfoundation.org/en/Ne...l_with_bonding
I followed this and came up with the following configuration.
/etc/rc.d/rc.bond:
Code:
#!/bin/sh
#
case "$1" in
'start')
echo "start bond0"
modprobe bonding mode=broadcast miimon=100
ifconfig bond0 up
ifconfig bond0 10.151.33.45 netmask 255.255.240.0 hw ether 00:16:3e:aa:aa:aa up
ifenslave bond0 eth0
ifenslave bond0 eth1
;;
'stop')
ifconfig bond0 down
rmmod bonding
;;
*)
echo "Usage: $0 {start|stop}"
;;
esac
Current ifconfig:

SIOCGMIIPHY on 'eth1' failed: Operation not supported
I get 50% packet loss using mode bonding mode balance-rr. I assume this is because it cycles through the interfaces and when it comes to using the wireless one it does not work. Using mode broadcast, I get no packet loss until the wire link goes down? Is this related to "SIOCGMIIPHY on 'eth1' failed: Operation not supported" and if so, how to resolve it? Thanks
