Hi Jay, Jeff
Thanks for the help with making the patch work compile under 2.6.24.
However, patch #3 has a missing line in bond_setup_by_slave that should look like this

	bond_dev->header_ops        = slave_dev->header_ops;

I rewrote the patch and also fixed patch #8 that became broken.

I would send the new patches now but there is more....
I also ran a test for the code in the branch of 2.6.24 and found a problem.
I see that ifconfig down doesn't return (for IPoIB interfaces) and it's stuck in napi_disable() in the kernel (any idea why?)

I am trying to solve it now so I'd like to wait a short time before applying these patches. 
I guess that I'll need to add something.

thanks
   MoniS
