Hi
Well I have two network cards installed on my Linux box. Both are
connected to 100Mbps switched port and are on same subnet. I have port
trunking feature in my switch. In this way I can have 200Mbps network
speed if I can made them to work as team. I have drivers for Windows
NT which supports teaming of up to four network cards. The eql in
Linux does the same but it works on ppp or slip not on Ethernet. Does
anyone have an idea can it be done or not
