-        For a channel bonding interface to be valid, the kernel module must be loaded. To ensure that the module is loaded when the channel bonding interface is brought up, create a new file as root named <filename><replaceable>bonding</replaceable>.conf</filename> in the <filename class="directory">/etc/modprobe.d/</filename> directory. Note that you can name this file anything you like as long as it ends with a <filename class="extension">.conf</filename> extension. Insert the following line in this new file:
