Network teaming/bonding - Team a wifi connection and an eth one ???
Hello,
Is it possible to team/bond a wifi network connection with a ethernet one to increase the overall connexion speed?
I believe that it can be done with 2 eth one, but not sure about a eth and a wifi one.
Thanks in advance.

No reason you can't AFAIK depending on the bonding mode you want to use, but it wouldn't be desirable if your goal is speed.
Bonding does NOT aggregate the links per stream. Each stream still only goes over 1 "physical" connection to avoid packets getting out of order etc, so you would find that some connections would be sent over the wifi (and be limited by it's connection speed), while other connections would be on the wire connection.
Bonding allows more streams to happen in parallel, it doesn't magically speed up individual streams.
You would still be able to obtain redundancy using bonding (eg, mode 1)
