This definately does it!
It create this excellent kernel module, it contains ALL.
I just managed to get this running on a Tyan 2515 Motherboard that has two
Onboard Intel Nics.
I've just tested failover mode, works *PERFECT* not even a single packet
dropped!
I'm gonna try out adaptive load balancing next, and i'll let you know how I
make out.
