Hi,
When I run ovs-appctl lacp/show I get the following output:

I am trying to bond 2 wireless NICs together for increased redundancy. To
do this, I am bridging both wireless cards into a virtual machine and
running open v switch from there. Could it be that this isn't possible? Are
there any settings that I might have to change on my wireless NICs (like
enabling LACP)?
Thank You and sorry for the long post,
Kevin Han
