and dont forget a lot of the bond modes require a second device like a 
switch...i think 0 and 6 were the ones I tried

I really wanted the bond, but decided to blow some ips and just use 
extra bridges to try to balance.
It was not fun at all finding this bug...lol

I think the reason they do not want to get into it is alomost everyone 
uses bond/bridges outside of the single server and it is not an 
issue...and to rewrite and debug all that for a few of us that are crazy 
to do such single box bridge bond, well, we in't gonna see that 
according to the bugzilla responses I saw...still, one can hope
