Previously, if a bonded interface was created and the slave interface includes the setting MASTER="bond0" (where bond0 is the bonded interface) the slave did not start. This bug has been fixed in the /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-ethX script and the bonded interface now brings up the slave interface and communicate as expected.
