If bonding is compiled with CONFIG_IPV6, then the IPv6 support is compiled in, and bonding will need the ipv6 module loaded to resolve its symbols. The simple answer (don't turn on CONFIG_IPV6) isn't really useful for the common case of distro kernels, which will generally have CONFIG_IPV6 enabled. -J --- -Jay Vosburgh, IBM Linux Technology Center, fubar@...ibm.com -- 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
