I have a problem with creating a bonding interface on Debian 10.11.
What I did was install ifenslave and then stop networking. I edited /etc/network/interfaces as below:
#WiFi Interface
auto mlan0
iface mlan0 inet manual
bond-master bond0
bond-primary mlan0
bond-mode active-backup
wpa-ssid SSID
wpa-psk PSK
#Bonding Interface
auto bond0
iface bond0 inet dhcp
bond-slaves none
bond-primary mlan0
bond-mode active-backup
bond-miimon 100
Next one was to restart networking service and I get errors in syslog like below:

I tried to make modprobe bonding and even adding it to /etc/modules but I got error like this:
# modprobe bonding
modprobe: FATAL: Module bonding not found in directory /lib/modules/4.19.94-1.0.12+
What should I do?
