What are you actually trying to accomplish? You still seem to mix bonding
and bridging willy nilly as if they are somehow related. They are not.

==================================

Nothing at all to do with bonding. Not at all.
eth1 to br0 , eth0 to br0....that's all.
If that is possible, I see no reason for a bond at all.
I just want to make sure if an NIC fails, the other one is still working
while I am asleep and not a care in the world.
