Per Jerry's suggestion, I added this to /etc/modprobe.d/xs_bonding and deleted stuff from the prior suggestion, though I can put that back in if it's going to make a difference.<br><br>options lanbond0 mode=active-backup arp_interval=1000 arp_ip_target=<a href="http://172.18.96.5">172.18.96.5</a><br>
<br>I went ahead and rebooted. I connected my AP, which is set to that IP address, directly to eth1. Still couldn't ping it.<br><br>When I do ifdown eth1 then ifup eth1, here's the output from /var/log/messages:<br>

<br>And yes, I know which card is which. If eth0 weren't connected properly to my LAN, I couldn't have scp'd this output over to my "main" XS 0.5 test box, which has active jabber users on it, so I'm trying to keep from messing with it too much until I know exactly what's going on.<br>
<br>On both boxes, I have swapped cables, moved the NICs to different slots, tried connecting with and without hubs, tried connecting to the AP and Fedora and Ubuntu desktops, pretty much everything I can think of. They're both old Dells from circa 2003, though they're different models. Both worked fine with XS 0.4.<br>
