What do you want to configure here? Mixing qethconf with a bonding interface does not make sense. qethconf is a configuration tool for OSA-Express cards in Layer3 mode; thus it should be used for qeth interfaces only, not for bonding interfaces. Bonding on the other side requires Layer2 slaves; thus there is no need to make use of qethconf for OSA bonding slaves.
