That's correct. However, I think it would happen as in the case of bridge
interfaces: they may work or they may not, but since it has not been widely
tested it may be neverland as is not stated as officially supported... while
Nokia (for example) today gives support to 802.3AD and it has been tested
with the firewall AFAIK... :-)
