I'm trying to setup two separate bonds with four NICs. I need to be able to use different options for each bond so I have setup separate bonding module instances.

So far so good, however when I try to restart, stop, or reboot the server, the init script hangs:
Code:
/etc/init.d/net.bond1 restart
 * WARNING:  you are stopping a boot service.
 * Stopping bond1
 *   Bringing down bond1
 *     Removing slaves from bond1 ...
 *       eth2 eth3


Watching the logs during this restart, I get the following:
Code:
bonding: bond1: Warning: the permanent HWaddr of eth2 - 00:a0:cc:3c:65:aa - is still in use by bond1. Set the HWaddr of eth2 to a different address to avoid conflicts.

It is my understanding that the bond will use the MAC from the first slave and that this is normal behavior. Indeed I have several other servers with bonds that work as expected with the assigned MAC address. Even so, manually resetting the MAC on any of the ethX devices does not seem to help.

I have also tried setting new MAC addresses for bond0 and bond1, but this fails.
Code:
 * Starting bond1
 *   Adding slaves to bond1 ...
 *     eth2 eth3                                                          [ !! ]
 *   Changing MAC address of bond1 ...                                    [ !! ]
 *   Failed to set MAC address                                            [ !! ]


If anyone has successfully setup multiple bonds with separate options for each bond, I'd be interested to find out how you do it.



/etc/modules.d/bond
Code:
alias bond0 bonding
alias bond1 bonding
options bond0 -o bond0 mode=3 miimon=100
options bond1 -o bond1 mode=1 miimon=100 primary=eth2


/etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.6
Code:
bond0 -o bond0
bond1 -o bond1


Code:
# lsmod
Module                  Size  Used by
bond1                  71264  0
bond0                  71264  0



/etc/conf.d/net
Code:

modules=( "iproute2" )

config_eth0=("null")
config_eth1=("null")
config_eth2=("null")
config_eth3=("null")

slaves_bond0="eth0 eth1"
slaves_bond1="eth2 eth3"

config_bond0=("192.168.1.4/24")
routes_bond0=("default via 192.168.1.1")

config_bond1=("192.168.2.50/24")

Solved:
I changed the NICs from tulip based Netgears to 3c905 based 3Coms and everything works fine. I think it may have something to do with the Netgears not being fully supported by mii-tools.
