Hi, I've subscribed to this list to try and sort out a regression in the bonding network driver. I originally reported this in Dec 2014, as: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=89161
The bug is still present in the 4.2 Linux kernel. If you look at the code, here: https://github.com/torvalds/linux/commit/f54424412b6b2f64cae4d7c39d981ca14ce0052c Then you see that the intention is for devices without set_mac support to be supported. Although in older code they DID work, and that ability died sometime near this commit. And has never returned since. The code path in current kernels does allow devices through that block of code, but it fails somewhere else -- the devices are not successfully added as slaves, but the only error printed is the warning about not supporting MAC address setting. Is there anything I can do to try and sort this regression out, with you? I can explain how to set up two virtual machines with PPPoE client and server in order to test, if you like? Or I can try out patches and give feedback.
