Bond: set mode

[jsebosik]

Hi,

I`ve made a tiny patch to netctl/src/lib/connections/bond, which allows user to configure bonding mode:

if is_interface "$Interface"; then
report_error "Interface '$Interface' already exists"
return 1
else
interface_add bond "$Interface"
fi

+if [[ ! -z "$Mode" ]]; then
+echo $Mode > /sys/class/net/${Interface}/bonding/mode
+fi

bring_interface_up "$Interface"

Mode can be set according to kernel documentation:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/networking/bonding.txt

Why not modify the interface_add line into

interface_add bond "$Interface" "" mode "$Mode"

Anyway, the parameter also needs to be documented in netctl.profile(5)

Yeah this is smarter solution.. thanks for pointing out right direction.
Now it`s time to prepare patches :).
