Recommendations on NICs used for Channel Bonding (concerns with Intel etherexpress)

[Tom Woo]

Hi all,

I'm looking to do channel bonding (2x) with 100BT switched ethernet
involving about 64 machines.  The 3 test machines I currently have all have
Intel Ether express Pros (INTEL ETHEREXPRESS PRO 10/100+ PCI PILA8460B)
They all work great with channel bonding on redhat 6.2 and 7.0.  However,
i've been told that for channel bonding these NICs may not be the best.
Thus, I was wondering if anyone has any recommendations on what are the best
NICs for channel bonding, or what NICs to avoid when channel bonding.

Thanks in Advance.

Tom
