Intel PRO/1000 PT Desktop 802.3ad link aggregation possible?

[ugo1]

Hi

I'm going to build a home server based on Ubuntu Hardy 8.04 (finally). I would like to set up a dual lan between my server and my video editing computer (probably will be build over the GA-EX58-UD5). I was thinking to use the Intel PRO/1000 PT Desktop (note this is the desktop version). But before make it I would like to know if it is possible to setup the 802.3ad link aggregation mode with 2 of this card and Ubuntu and use it between the two computers. As switch I'm planning to use the netgear GS108. Will be possible to plug other computers not in teaming?


Any suggestion?

Regards

Ugo

I can't speak directly to the Intel Pro 1000 PT but my Intel Pro 1000 MT desktop adapter supports teaming.

Thanks

looking in the intel's Kb list seem that link aggregation is supported but no mention in the official datasheet

also the latest linux drivers say:

The following features are now available in supported kernels(my note: 2.4 and 2.6):
- Native VLANs
- Channel Bonding (teaming)
- SNMP
