On *all* interfaces...

Now you need to do the tcpdump on tap0 and tap1 to see where the problem
happens - is "agr -> (tap0,tap1)" not working, or is there something
between tap0->openvpn->tap1->bond0 on the other end.

If you see the packets on tap0 or tap1, the NetBSD "agr" part is working,
so then you need to tcpdump on tap1/tap2 on the linux side and the 
bond interface there to see who is eating them.

Turn link1 *on*.  As per the man page, that turns *off* LACP.

Ditto on Linux.  LACP is good (because it can notice if one of the taps
isn't working), but it is an extra complication on the step towards
"where is it not working", so initial troubleshooting should be without
LACP.

(Note: if talking to a switch, leave LACP on, of course, to avoid bridge
loops)
