We're doing bonding with the tg3 driver as well, as Broadcom has  
EOL'd the BCM driver (http://www.broadcom.com/support/ethernet_nic/ 
faq_drivers.php#tg3).  I went ahead and compiled an RPM of the newest  
version from Broadcom, as I was experiencing some flakiness with the  
included driver.   No problems so far.
