True, the MAC addresses, frame headers (OSI layer 2?) and so on are different. Of course the case which the original poster had in mind, bonding FireWire with Ethernet, would be at least as interesting as bonding several FireWire interfaces, since most FireWire equipped machines come with only one FireWire link and one or two Ethernet links. -- Stefan Richter -=====-=-=== =-=- -===- http://arcgraph.de/sr/ - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
