I am trying to setup tree network cards and bond them to increase bandwidth. They are all 10/100mbs. I followed the how to from
HowToForge Network Bonding with Ubuntu 6.10 I am currently using Ubuntu Hardy 8.04.1 but I figured it was close enough. Anyways I went through the sets but I am not sure if it was successful. My first question if how do I test it? When I run ifconfig and have bond0 and eth0 but when I download from/to the server only one card, eth0, has activity.(The other cards aren't listed.) I suppose that could be because the other cards aren't needed. But it could also be because of my error. How do I find out? I am running bonding mode 0 I didn't want to stay too far from the tutorial this is my first set-up.
Two side notes:
output of mii-tools two cards have flow-control and eth0 doesn't. Could this cause any problems. Pertaining to my issue or otherwise.
ethtools gave no output,well "No data available" or something of that sort, for eth2 and eth3. I tried googling for information or a possible solution but no information.
cheers
