OK, I'm out of ideas, lets see if we can configure eth1 without bonding,
not sure if this is nic driver issue with bonding, or what...

backup the ifcfg-eth1 file, copy ifcfg-landbond0, ifcfg-lanbond0:1 
ifcfg-lanbond0:2 and to ifcfg-eth1, ifcfg-eth1:1 ifcfg-eth1:2 
respectively. edit the ifcfg-eth1* files changing the device line to 
match the new name, eth1 eth1:1 eth1:2.

Please stop the network before editing the files.
