Been reading these sites aswell, and trying to find any documented example
of using 2bit, all the examples have 100Mbit in them.

But if it works on freebsd then it should also work on linux.

This site is quite good,
http://linux-net.osdl.org/index.php/Bonding#Configuring_Bonding_Devices
and they mention using e1000's ans tg3's, so should be cool then.
