We actually just got a PR a few days ago from someone who had trouble with 
the LACP case and would probably have benefitted from another example.
(This is http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=docs/159374 )
If you're willing to provide a patch for another example, or even just the 
example itself, that would be useful.  Email to this list is probably 
sufficient for submitting the example; if you want to learn how to submit 
a nicely formatted patch that makes our life a bit easier, 
http://www.freebsd.org/docproj/ is a starting point for links.

I'm pretty overworked for the next week or two, but if it hasn't been 
patchified by someone else by then, I'll come back and take a look.

Thanks,

Ben Kaduk
