The process is called "channel bonding", "Ethernet bonding", "channel teaming", "link aggregation", etc. Team tries to provide similar functionality as the bonding driver, however architecturally it is quite different. Team is modular, userspace driven, very lean and efficient, and it does have some distinct advantages over bonding. The way Team is configured differs dramatically from the way bonding is. If building the kernel with Buildroot, basic team support is automatically enabled, but you will still need to enable the modes you need, e.g. activebackup or loadbalance (e.g. with a config fragment or a custom config). https://github.com/jpirko/libteam comment "libteam needs MMU and a toolchain w/ dynamic library and threads" depends on BR2_USE_MMU depends on BR2_STATIC_LIBS || !BR2_TOOLCHAIN_HAS_THREADS
