Sorry for asking the obvious, bu just checking the basics here... you
are using a switch that supports 802.3ad port trunking, and is
configured to trunk the ports connected to your Debian box, right?

from http://linux-ip.net/html/ether-bonding.html
   "A single machine connected with two physical cables to a 
switch which supports port trunking can use link aggregation 
to the switch. Any conventional switch will become ineffably 
confused by a hardware address appearing on multiple ports 
simultaneously."
