Hi there!

It's seem that there is a issue with Conntrackd using a bonding as 
dedicated interface.


The log:

[Thu Aug  9 14:14:23 2012] (pid=3819) [notice] -- starting in daemon mode --
[Thu Aug  9 14:14:23 2012] (pid=3819) [ERROR] no dedicated links available!
[Thu Aug  9 14:14:23 2012] (pid=3819) [ERROR] no dedicated links available!

[Thu Aug  9 14:19:54 2012] (pid=3819) [notice] ---- shutdown received ----


Or maybe i'm missing something important in the configuration:

/etc/conntrackd/conntrackd.conf

         Mode ALARM {
                 RefreshTime 15

         }

             IPv6_address xx::41
         }
     }
}

Bond2 is up and running:

Any idea?

I'm using this version (Debian amd64)
