Title:
  [lucid] netxen_nic driver and ethernet bonding broken at boot time

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  A HP Proliant DL360 G6 system running Lucid 64-bit (only certified by
  Canonical for 9.04 64bit and 10.10 32bit [1]) is using a dual-port
  netxen_nic-based ethernet device.

  When ethernet bonding is configured via /etc/network/interfaces [2]
  the bonded device appears to exist [5] but does not work.  Upon
  restarting the networking service [3] the device works as expected.
  The bonded device also works when configured manually [4].  This used
  to work with Hardy.

  Apport information from the affected system is forthcoming.
