bonding e1000

[r w]

1)
I have noticed a few posts concerning the bonding of e1000 cards and people 
having trouble.  Has anyone found a work around for this problem?  It seems 
that the mac address for the 2nd interface is never set to match that of the 
others.

2)
I read a post by Gordon Gere and he said that bonding of GigE adapters shows 
a negligable performance gain.  Could someone enlighten me as to why this is 
true?  A url would be nice if it is to time consuming of an explaination.

R.
