Hello,

On one of our CentOS 5.5 systems we have bonded interfaces. There is no
'/proc/net/bond0' directory, but there is '/proc/net/bonding'. The
dev_snmp6 file relates to IPv6 SNMP variables for the bond0 interface -
not the same thing.

You will find that some of the info out on the 'net relating to bonded
interfaces is out of date. I suspect some of the 'howtos' you have
looked at are examples of that.
