Bonding takes two interfaces that talk to the same switch on the other side, and makes them into one bond nic. You need support on the switch, too, which is unlikely in a D-Link 8-port unless it has a management interface -- I think they don't bother under 16 or 24 ports, and even then it's an extra-cost option. -dsr-
