problem with bonding/netctl for wireless failover

[hp4]

Hi,
I've tried to configure the "Wired to wireless failover" as has been described in

https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/ne ... s_failover

but it doesn't work on my RaspberryPI.

Unplugging the wired connection doesn't lead to failover, the bonding driver reports loss of last active connection.

ifconfig -a shows that both slaves are up while cat /proc/net/bonding/bond0 reports at least "MII Status down" for the WLAN

After taking wlan0 out of the bonding configuration it can be activated with netctl without problems, so the wireless-access is configured correctly.

Any idea what's going wrong or how it's possible to trace/debug the reason for the failing failover?
