Public bug reported:

Release: Ubuntu 12.04
ifenslave-2.6                    1.1.0-19ubuntu5 

At boot time bonding interfaces are activated fine. But if I manually
ifdown the bonding interface and subsequently ifup it againt the
physical network cards are not enslaved.

I use the following configuration:
auto extern
iface extern inet static
        address 192.168.0.5
        netmask 255.255.255.0
        bond-mode 1
        bond-miimon 100
        bond-slaves none

auto eth0
allow-extern eth0
iface eth0 inet manual
        bond-master extern

auto eth2
allow-extern eth2
iface eth2 inet manual
        bond-master extern

Situation after boot:
# cat /proc/net/bonding/extern
Ethernet Channel Bonding Driver: v3.7.1 (April 27, 2011)

Bonding Mode: fault-tolerance (active-backup)
Primary Slave: None
Currently Active Slave: eth0
MII Status: up
MII Polling Interval (ms): 100
Up Delay (ms): 0
Down Delay (ms): 0

Slave Interface: eth0
MII Status: up
Speed: 1000 Mbps
Duplex: full
Link Failure Count: 0
Permanent HW addr: 00:26:2d:05:37:2f
Slave queue ID: 0

Slave Interface: eth2
MII Status: up
Speed: 1000 Mbps
Duplex: full
Link Failure Count: 0
Permanent HW addr: 00:15:17:f6:ec:d9
Slave queue ID: 0

When issuing ifdown and subsequently ifup the following is displayed:
# ifup extern
Waiting for a slave to join extern (will timeout after 60s)
No slave joined extern, continuing anyway
Failed to bring up extern.

By the way, replacing extern with a typical bonding-device name as bond1
does not change the behaviour.

Adding 
bond-primary eth0 eth2 
to all stanzas does not change the behavior.

Changing bond-slaves to 
bond-slaves eth0 eth2
does not change the behaviour. README.Debian states that if both bond-master 
and bond-slaves is used bond-slaves is ignored.

The only way to correct the behaviour is to manually ifup eth0 and ifup eth2. I 
thought this is the responsibility of the 
allow-extern eth0/eth2
lines.
