> == Detailed description ==
> NetworkManager's existing support for bond interfaces covers a limited number
> of use-cases and can conflict with existing bonding configurations created by
> tools like libvirt. The purpose of this Fedora feature is to implement more
> flexible bonding infrastructure in NetworkManager to support an expanded number
> of use-cases and to be more cooperative with other users of bonding.

> Support will be added to NetworkManager to detect the existing configuration of
> a bond interface and its slaves and to seamless "take over" that connection
> without disrupting it. Even if the existing configuration is not backed by
> ifcfg files on-disk, NetworkManager will leave that configuration on the
> interface unless told to change it by the user via GUI or CLI tools.
> Additional bond interface configuration will be added to expand the use-cases
> and hardware that NetworkManager can configure (eg primary, use_carrier,
> xmit_hash_policy, etc).

How about bridging? Sorry for thw noise in case if it's already supported by NM.
