[Vincent ETIENNE]

Hi,
 
 Summary :
	Got this trace when one network interface come down or up in a 2
	interfaces bonding.	So far, system seems to survive to this problem
	and works fine.

 Full description
 
	During testing of bonding of 2 interfaces, i have seen this from
	time to time in my log file ( the problem doesn't arrive each
	time but one in 3 or 4 try ). 

	SYSTEM :	Â2 NIC card bond on interface bond0 : 
				intel PRO/1000 (e1000 )
				Broadcomm ( tg3 )
	I have also try a 2.6.20 and 2.6.19 vanilla kernel ( identical problem but in 
	onecase the system doesn't survive : that the reason the problem catch my 
	attentionÂ)
 
	Keywords	; network, bonding
 
	Version :ÂLinux version 2.6.21-rc6-mm1 (root@jupiter2) (gcc version 4.1.1
