Comment 14 for bug 688703

I tried the new kernel, using the commandline that Pete posted. The problem was not fixed by that kernel. In fact, it was arguably made worse, as on that kernel, even a manual restart of networking does not get the network to work. I am attaching a dmesg log of the new kernel's boot.

When I manually restart networking, this is what I get:

 * Reconfiguring network interfaces...
Failed to enslave eth0 to bond0. Is bond0 ready and a bonding interface ?
Failed to enslave eth1 to bond0. Is bond0 ready and a bonding interface ?
/etc/network/if-pre-up.d/ifenslave: 129: cannot create /sys/class/net/bond0/bonding/mode: Directory nonexistent
/etc/network/if-pre-up.d/ifenslave: 129: cannot create /sys/class/net/bond0/bonding/miimon: Directory nonexistent
ssh stop/waiting
ssh start/running, process 1951
   ...done.

Finally, adding the options to /etc/modprobe.d did not improve the situation, regardless of whether "bonding" was added to /etc/modules or not.
