I have this same issue. I'm trying to delete the bond0 so I can create a new one and I get kfree+168 on the LCD. Same thing if I just try to modify the bond. WTF? How about some reliefe from this nonsense?
I am running the latest 6.10.2
Hopefully it's on the list of things to be fixed.
One thing you could try is doing an OS reinstall from the boot menu. That will
- reset the network to default settings (no bonding, MTU=1500, dhcp)
- change the admin password back to password
- disable volume quota (can be changed back on the volume settings wheel)
See pages 28-29 here: http://www.downloads.netgear.com/files/GDC/READYNAS-100/ReadyNAS_%20OS6_Desktop_HM_EN.pdf
FWIW, the RN100 series performance is mostly limited by it's relatively slow processor and memory. There's not a lot of performance gain to be had with bonding. I'd just use it with one ethernet connection myself.

Have now updated to latest stable build 6.10.0, yet the issue still remains, any attemt to change the NIC settings to anything else results in it locking up and erroring.

Hi Dremscape,
Can you download the system logs then provide it to us? We will further what is causing the error.
You may upload it to Google Drive then send to me the download link via PM (private message).

Hi Dremscape,
What is the MTU size you are trying to set on the NAS?
It looks like the NIC is complaining about the size of the frame. Wants to send frame 1440 but MTU is only set to 1400.
[Mon May 20 17:09:28 2019] mvneta d0074000.ethernet eth1: bad rx status 0f850000 (max frame length error), size=1440
