Well I haven't used ANS.
You are using this driver aren't you?
ftp://aiedownload.intel.com/df-support/5600/eng/ians-3.4.1.tar.gz
Info about that is here:
http://www.intel.com/support/network/adapter/1000/linux/ans.htm

Note as of kernel 2.6 you don't need intel's driver as you
can just use the standard channel bonding feature.
