[Bug 239999] Re: nm should support easy bonding
I don't know, I've never actually tried to use NM with a virtual interface that has slave physical interfaces. And yes, it seems to me too that mentioning an interface in the interfaces file makes NM not touch it. NM has its own configuration storage, which, as I've read, is not intended for human editing :) So, if the GUI doesn't support bond configuration (yet), it's not likely you can find information how to configure it in config file in any user documentation. Developer documentation (for developers of GUI and other NM frontends), on the other hand, might have such info. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/23 Title: nm should support easy bonding To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/network-manager/+bug/23/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Mlx, but can I configure a device there, that NM *can* use? I always took it that the devices there kind of supersede NM.

Re: [Bug 239999] Re: nm should support easy bonding
I believe that Redhat's network-scripts are above network-manager and NM will not touch any interface that is configured using ifcfg and doesn't have a special line in the file (NM_MANAGED it is, I think). In (Debian and) Ubuntu, the role of network-scripts is taken by /etc/network/interfaces. See ifupdown documentation and documentation to whatever packages provide the advanced networking functionality. The debian packages often contain hooks for ifupdown, so you can configure the advanced network features directly in /etc/network/interfaces.

[Bug 239999] Re: nm should support easy bonding
Can someone more informed than me tell me what the progress on this (in Karmic) is? After a googling session, I decided to simply add the relevant contents of /usr/share/doc/ifenslave-2.6/examples/ethernet+wifi to /etc/network/interfaces: auto lo iface lo inet loopback # Following added for bonding auto bond0 iface bond0 inet dhcp bond-slaves eth0 wlan0 bond-mode 1 bond-miimon 100 bond-primary eth0 iface eth0 inet manual iface wlan0 inet manual bond-give-a-chance 10 wpa-bridge bond0 wpa-key-mgmt WPA-PSK wpa-proto WPA wpa-group CCMP wpa-ssid wpa-psk "+++" === The network manager doesn't touch the enslaved interfaces eth0 and wlan0 (which is apparently caused by the iface __ inet manual stanzas for both ifaces, as instructed by some google search result), but it doesn't manage the bond0 interface either, complaining that it cannot determine the driver. Strangely enough, both bond and eth0 interfaces do appear in KNetworkManager - clicking on them produces NetworkManager: impl_manager_activate_connection(): Connection (1) /org/freedesktop/NetworkManagerSettings/0 failed to activate: (2) Device not managed by NetworkManager The wifi is completely off, not associated with the AP plus unable to connect to any network with networkmanager. I didn't reboot, I just did /etc/init.d/networking restart and services netowrk-manager restart. Is there something I'm missing?

[Bug 239999] Re: nm should support easy bonding
FWIW, that patch is mine. It's a patch to NM that prevents the IP configuration steps on a "slave" (i.e. bonded) interface. This allows you to create a bonded interface in /etc/network/interfaces (bug #328665 has an example of how to do this) but still let's NM select a wireless network to connect to and, if applicable authenticate to with the wireless interface that is a member of the bonded interface. -- nm should support easy bonding https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/23 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 239999] Re: nm should support easy bonding
> would this allow me to use [...] 1 interface for firefox and 1 interface for > torrents? The point of bonding is to make two interfaces look like one, so you'd be trying to shovel water uphill if you want to partially break the illusion. I suppose you could write an iptables module that lets you create rules that only apply to local packets originating from particular programs, and create an iptables target that says "despite my bonding policy, route these packets like this: [...]". But that's non-trivial. Also, what happens when one of your two bonded interfaces becomes unavailable? It sounds like you're trying to solve a traffic prioritization problem: you want firefox to not be bogged down by your torrent running in the background. There are solutions for that, but bonding isn't it. Splitting the traffic onto two interfaces is probably also not a solution, unless they have distinct IPs and your ISP allocates bandwidth per IP address. In most scenarios, there's a lot of bandwidth you don't get to use by keeping one interface free for firefox. I think it'd be better to configure some traffic prioritization if your current configuration is suboptimal; something like giving almost all your pipe to interactive traffic over bulk transfer (one can use iptables and the LOG target to see which apps are good at setting QOS flags), and also delaying bulk traffic in anticipation of interactive traffic. And you could put a $(($BANDWIDTH - $EPSILON)) cap on your bittorrent transfer; that should give firefox a small window to send out the first packets through. I'm sure google plus #ubuntu plus ubuntuforums will be happy to help you and/or go into the deep details of bonding if you want to :) > How would I be able to use 2 wireless interfaces at the same time? Well, if it ever comes to balancing+availability, you could have a twice-as-fast connection to your access point. Your internet connection is probably the most important bottleneck, so you won't get a faster internet connection, but you may be able to copy files between two local machines faster. How it's going to be presented to the user? Click some friendly "please bond" button somewhere in gnome-control-center.
