Thanks, I've read it. I just didn't want to recompile the kernel if I didn't have to. Wolf -----Original Message----- From: Chris Chabot [mailto:chabotc@xxxxxxxxx] Sent: Thursday, 12 June 2003 4:57 PM To: shrike-list@xxxxxxxxxx Subject: Re: RH9 and NIC Load Balancing If you read that doc he refered to, it mentions you need the bonding module.. # cd /lib/modules/2.4.20-18.9/ # find -name "bonding.o" ./kernel/drivers/net/bonding.o Or even just # modprobe bonding .. ergo, it's a part of the standard redhat kernel .. no compiling required. Please read that doc again, setting it up is really quite simple. Ps, the doc mentions you need 'ifenslave', which is already included in the iputils package, so no compiling required for that either Wolfgang Gill wrote: >Ah, so this means that I will have to recompile the kernel to achieve >this?? > >Wolf > >-----Original Message----- >From: Greig, Bruno J.
