<div>There is definitely a problem with Bonding and old hardware , i have been gatting the same problems on two non branded machines both of which is based on socket 478 intel processors , and have onboard Marvel network cards and realtek pci network cards , the brand of the NIC's are same but they are of different models its safe to say that they were made within the last 5 years .</div>
<div>Hardware aside is there a way of not using bonding in version 0.5 ?<br></div>
