Description

Hi, I try to use bandwhich on system which use IEEE 802.3ad dynamic link aggregation to bond 2 ethernet together. Got error when use:

bandwhich -i bond0 
bond0: " No such device (os error 19)"

If tried to listen on the individual ethernet which is member of the bond. got error,

bandwhich -i eth4
thread 'main' panicked at 'asked to collect errors but found no errors', src/os/shared.rs:143:14
note: run with `RUST_BACKTRACE=1` environment variable to display a backtrace

Is there a way to make bandwhich listen on link aggregation? or member of the link., Thanks

Research direction
Investigate the panic in src/os/shared.rs:143 when collecting errors. Understand how bandwhich opens network interfaces via pcap and consider adding support for bonded interfaces (e.g., bond0). Check if the issue is platform specific to Linux and whether it requires iterating over member interfaces or handling bond devices differently.
