You may want to enable QoS though, and use iproute. The kernel setup is not the hard part. The hard part is routing the traffic on one link or the other, according to your needs. Have you already asked your self what you want to do with those links? Load balancing? Some services on one interface and the others on the second? First, try to be sure you know what you wan't to do. Then, think about a way to split the traffic between interfaces.
