+ To create multiple bonding devices with differing options, it is
+preferrable to use bonding parameters exported by sysfs, documented in the
+section below.
+
+ For versions of bonding without sysfs support, the only means to
+provide multiple instances of bonding with differing options is to load
+the bonding driver multiple times. Note that current versions of the
+sysconfig network initialization scripts handle this automatically; if
+your distro uses these scripts, no special action is needed. See the
+section Configuring Bonding Devices, above, if you're not sure about your
+network initialization scripts.
+
+ To load multiple instances of the module, it is necessary to
+specify a different name for each instance (the module loading system
+requires that every loaded module, even multiple instances of the same
+module, have a unique name). This is accomplished by supplying multiple
+sets of bonding options in /etc/modprobe.conf, for example:
+
+alias bond0 bonding
+options bond0 -o bond0 mode=balance-rr miimon=100
+
+alias bond1 bonding
+options bond1 -o bond1 mode=balance-alb miimon=50
+
+ will load the bonding module two times. The first instance is
+named "bond0" and creates the bond0 device in balance-rr mode with an
+miimon of 100. The second instance is named "bond1" and creates the
+bond1 device in balance-alb mode with an miimon of 50.
+
+ In some circumstances (typically with older distributions),
+the above does not work, and the second bonding instance never sees
+its options. In that case, the second options line can be substituted
+as follows:
+
+install bond1 /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install bonding -o bond1 \
+ mode=balance-alb miimon=50
