That is called NIC bonding in linux.
It is discussed for Red Hat EL 3 at-
https://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/enterprise/RHEL-3-Manual/cluster-suite/s1-hardware-connect.html#S2-HARDWARE-ETHBOND
and the original documentation is at
http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/marcelo/linux-2.4/Documentation/networking/bonding.txt

On my RHAS4U4 system, which runs a 2.6 kernel I have:

/usr/share/doc/kernel-doc-2.6.9/Documentation/networking/bonding.txt
/usr/share/doc/iputils-20020927/README.bonding

I've looked at the bonding.txt file, but not the README.bonding - given the apparant datecode on the README.bonding, it may be outdated.

Do be careful in your selection of packet scheduling algorithms. Which ones are "right" depend very heavily on the specifics of your situation.
