network with bonding does not start

[max]

Hi,

this bug similar to Bug #482419.
Bonding is not working during boot or if started manually for the first time.
ifdown bond0; ifup bond0
fixes the problem.

Description: Attach and detach slave interfaces to a bonding device
 This is a tool to attach and detach slave network interfaces to a bonding
 device. A bonding device will act like a normal Ethernet network device to
 the kernel, but will send out the packets via the slave devices using a simple
 round-robin scheduler. This allows for simple load-balancing, identical to
 "channel bonding" or "trunking" techniques used in switches.
 .
 The kernel must have support for bonding devices for ifenslave to be useful.
 This package supports 2.6.x kernels and the most recent 2.4.x kernels.

Can you try the packages currently in oneiric-proposed (see bug 889423) and see if you still have the problem with these?
Alternatively, testing directly with Precise (currently in alpha-2) would also be helpful.

Thanks

In Precise working perfectly

I have got a similar problem, this is my old setup:

auto eth0
iface eth0 inet manual

auto eth1
iface eth1 inet manual

auto bond0
iface bond0 inet manual
        bond-mode 4
        bond-miimon 100
        xmit_hash_policy layer2+3
        lacp_rate slow
        slaves eth0 eth1

related to: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1876061
and to: /usr/share/doc/ifenslave-2.6/README.Debian.gz

I changed my network/interfaces file to

auto bond0
iface bond0 inet manual
        bond-slaves none
        bond-mode 802.3ad
        bond-ad_select bandwidth
        bond-lacp_rate slow
        bond-miimon 100
        bond-use_carrier 1
        bond-downdelay 200
        bond-updelay 200
        bond-primary eth0 eth1

auto eth0
allow-bond0 eth0
iface eth0 inet manual
   bond-master bond0
   bond-primary eth0 eth1

auto eth1
allow-bond0 eth1
iface eth1 inet manual
   bond-master bond0
   bond-primary eth0 eth1

and now it works. It would be nice to have got a bonding example in the ubuntu free documentation.
