This also affected me. I tested the new proposed package and the updated
documentation worked for me as well. Thanks!

Works like a charm when I follow the new documentation in proposed. Only
for the option names dashes and underscores are mixed, which is
confusing. I read bond_slaves, bond-master, bond-primary and bond_mode
in README.Debian, but also bond_primary. In
examples/two_hotplug_ethernet it is bond-slaves, bond-primary and bond-
mode. I guess both work, either with dash or underscore, but please
choose one for the documentation.

Accepted ifenslave-2.6 into lucid-proposed, the package will build now
and be available in a few hours. Please test and give feedback here. See
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to
enable and use -proposed. Thank you in advance!

** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: ifenslave-2.6
  
  In Karmic and Lucid the option bond_mode in /etc/network/interfaces is
  ignored. It used to work before, and also according to the documentation
  on the website and for example
  /usr/share/doc/ifenslave-2.6/README.Debian in Lucid.
  
  For example I have
  
  auto bond2
  iface bond2 inet static
- slaves eth1 eth2
- address 192.168.5.24
- netmask 255.255.255.0
- network 192.168.5.0
- broadcast 192.168.5.255
- bond_mode 5
+ slaves eth1 eth2
+ address 192.168.5.24
+ netmask 255.255.255.0
+ network 192.168.5.0
+ broadcast 192.168.5.255
+ bond_mode 5
  
  But this gives me a mode 0 bond. I had to add 'options bonding mode=5'
  to /etc/modprobe.d/bonding.conf to get a mode 5 bond.
+ 
+ SRU justification: the release notes and examples point users at the
+ correct way to do it, but the README.Debian, which is usually the first
+ place for experienced users to look, describes the wrong way to use the
+ package.  Since this is important enough to have in the release notes,
+ it's also worth an SRU to update our other in-package documentation.
+ 
+ TEST CASE:
+ 1. follow /usr/share/doc/ifenslave-2.6/README.Debian in lucid
+ 2. reboot
+ 3. observe that this fails to work
+ 4. follow /usr/share/doc/ifenslave-2.6/README.Debian in lucid-proposed
+ 5. reboot
+ 6. confirm that this brings up a bonded interface
+ 
+ The patch is trivial and only affects documentation; the only regression
+ potential is from latent rebuild bugs.

You're right; I had updated the examples in the package but hadn't
updated README.Debian.  I'm uploading this fix to maverick now and will
also prepare an SRU upload for lucid.

[Hark]

Thanks for you answer Steve. I will test this on a next server install
soon, but I guess this will work. Still, I think the documentation is
very unclear. I did read /usr/share/doc/ifenslave-2.6/README.Debian, but
that didn't inform me of the fact that Ubuntu now always handles devices
in a hotplug manner, and hence a different bond configuration is
required. That info is only on
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/LucidLynx/ReleaseNotes#Bonded%20network%20interfaces%20must%20use
%20hotplug-style%20configuration. I think it should also be in the
documentation files of the ifenslave package.

Thank you for taking the time to report this issue and help to improve
Ubuntu.

As documented at
, you must use the hotplug-style
configuration in /etc/network/interfaces; specifying the bond slaves in
the bond interface stanza will not work.  If you create the correct
stanzas for eth1 and eth2, does this problem still occur?
