List, I have been attempting to bond a pair of wireless network cards together to try and create a 22mb link between to wireless workstations. I have been successful when using wired cards (intel eepro100) but have not had much success with the wireless cards. The test bed is as follows: 2 clone boxes running Redhat 6.2 with bonding enabled 4 Lucent 11mb 802.11 pcmcia (silver cards) in isa to pcmcia adapters (2 in each box) 4 antennas to separate the RF as best as possible I have verified that the 2 sets of cards can "talk" to each other over 2 different sub nets and 2 different channels at the same time. The bonding seems to work up until the point of actually sending traffic. Both cards get enslaved to bond0 and bond0 picks up the correct mac address, eth0 and eth1 both get configured correctly. When I try to ping the other box across the wireless link i get a very large amount of packet loss (75%-90%), it appears that only one card is really transmitting if you look at the lights on the cards. Tcpdump on the second box shows all of the ping requests showing up and being replied to. The transmitting box isn't getting the replys. I have tried different channels on the RF with no change in the problem. If any of you have any ideas please drop me a line.
