If you are talking about NIC teaming , it is supported.

Hi Jason,

Trunking term is generally referred for Network Switches and Routers and configuration is done at switch/router level.

Most common Ethernet trunking mechanisms used at switch level are ISL and IEEE.

NC326i Adapter is Compatible with the following standards
IEEE 802.3 10Base-T
IEEE 802.3ab 1000Base-T
IEEE 802.3u 100Base-TX

If you are referring to NIC teaming as referred in previous post then NIC team is very much supported on embedded NC326i NIC adapter and same can be confirmed from the network configuration guides from the compatible network cards section

Hope this helps,

thanks,
