Description of problem: On line 431 of /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/network-functions there is a check: [ -d "/sys/class/net/$1" ] && return 0 That when a bond already exists, will skip the rest of the method 'install_bonding_driver', which is in charge for setting the BONDING_OPTS.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): initscripts-9.47-1.fc19.x86_64 How reproducible: 100% Steps to Reproduce: 1. modprobe bonding 2. write ifcfg-bond0 with BONDING_OPTS="mode=3 miimon=250" and have some ifcfg for the one or two dummy slaves 3. ifup bond0 Actual results: cat /sys/class/net/bond0/bonding/mode and cat /sys/class/net/bond0/bonding/miimon return 0 and 0 Expected results: the cats above retun 3 and 250 Additional info: This bug was fixed in F20.
