Thanks for responding so quickly. When I had been googling for adsl bonding 
I saw ifenslave everywhere. When looking for ifenslave.c I finally found it 
in the documentation but also noticed bonding.txt which mentioned sysfs. I 
wanted to hear someone else's take on it. It sounds like you can control 
every aspect of it with sysfs plus it's there ready to be used.
