Okay, after fixing STP forwarding delays on the switch, bonding
failover now works, as long as member links are forced to promisc
mode.

Still Have a problem with links randomly failing to achieve link on
boot. This then requires a "modprobe -r r8169; modprobe r8169" cycle
to get link. Side effect is the mac address corruption I have
described previously.
