 # ppp devices - we need to depend function on the bonded interfaces

+# Bonding subsume support (prevents crashes for root-on-NFS)
+#  - Only tested in the default bonding mode ('active-backup') with
+# IPv4
+#  - Only subsumes basic interface characteristics (IP, netmask) and
+#    excludes additional routes, interface properties such as MTU,
+#    interface-associated netfilter rules, etc.
+# In the example below, the (usually kernel-autoconfigured)
+# 'eth0' interface is a member of bond0, which subsumes the
+# existing interface configuration without upsetting NFS.
