Only one problem...  you can only set options for bonding ONCE.  Across
the board for all interfaces, Redhat recognizes that as a problem and
told me they were fixing it.

If you do this this way, this is what you end up with:

[root at lcas200 ~]# ifup bond1
/sbin/modprobe
bonding device bond1 does not seem to be present, delaying
initialization.
