Well, I am not exactly sure what you mean about "teaming." I use
multiple Intel GB NIC's with load balancing as one NIC. Is this what
you want? The cool thing with the Intel NIC's is that Intel provided
the software to do this and it only required minimal h4x0ring to make it
work the way I wanted it to.
