I manually loaded the bonding kernel module using "modprobe" and then rebooted, and the module is still loaded, even though it's not mentioned in /etc/modules. What could cause the kernel module to be loaded on boot if it's not in /etc/modules or in /etc/modprobe.d?

# lsmod | grep bonding
bonding               109690  0 
# cat /etc/modules
# /etc/modules: kernel modules to load at boot time.
#
# This file contains the names of kernel modules that should be loaded
# at boot time, one per line. Lines beginning with "#" are ignored.

What is the contents of your /etc/network/interfaces file? Do you have a bond0 in there? – Caesium Feb 10 '12 at 15:00
@Caesium Yes, I do. Will it auto-load bonding if I specify bond0 in interfaces? – Lorin Hochstein Feb 10 '12 at 15:15

Yep, it will :) You'll have to remove bond0 in there if you don't want it. Reconfigure either your eth0 or eth1 accordingly to keep network connectivity. – Caesium Feb 10 '12 at 15:35
