could somebody who uses bonding share their interfaces file?

[john]

Hello all,

Just a follow up to my own post in case someone has the same problem
in the future. The fix seems to be
to add the lines:

auto eth4
auto eth5

(the two interfaces I want to bond) to the /etc/network/interfaces
file. I also disabled dhcdbd  in /etc/rc2/d

Hope this helps someone else!

Thanks!

John
