I recently tried to setup link aggregation (bonding) in the GUI and it
 borked my networking stack it appears...even after removing the entries in
 config.xml its still broken. After the reboot networking did not come back
 up. I removed the virtualadapter entries from my NAS with no luck  with
 the write enabled on the CF card. Even after multiple reboots I was unable
 to get the host even able to ping. I thought all the settings were stored
 in config.xml but I am wrong apparently.
I'm using an intel PCI card and an onboard realtek card with static IPs
 and I manually negotiated the media type. I get link lights even but I
 can't ping hosts on the network or access anything on the system over the
 network. Firewalling is turned off.
I'm using a 7.X release. I can't even ping hosts on the same subnet.
Any help would be appreciated i'm fairly desperate at this point.
