Would I have to bond at both the Lixux side and the switching hub side?
Yes, the switch has to understand the bonding or you can get very interesting results.
And I presume the hub have to be twice as fast as your Ethernet cards to take advantage of it.
Most switches advertise that they can handle full duplex on all ports at once, so it's not the switch bandwidth that's the problem. It's whatever you're connecting to. If you try to download from another computer with only one network card, that's all you'll get. This is more for servers where there are multiple clients trying to get data at the same time or for a computer that is downloading from multiple locations at once on the local network.
