I am currently using port 1&2 and port 9&10 for bonding and have
configured all four ports for the same aggregator ID 1, LCAP enabled.
I also switched ports, that is, I changed host1 from using port 1&2 to
use port 9&10 and vice versa.  Note that I also used sk98lin which
worked in my setup also.  Do you still think it is a misconfigured
switch?

I will check tomorrow morning whether I see the LACPDUs in the log and
report.

Any more tests which may be helpfull?

Thanks.  /holger
