Should just work... even the iANS stuff I guess... but that is optional anyway:
--- from the ans readme---
This file describes the Intel(R) Advanced Network Services (ANS) package,
version 1.7.65, for Linux* systems. Intel ANS provides both teaming
(including Multi-Vendor Teaming), and IEEE VLAN capabilities. For ANS
support, this package version must be used with the Linux base driver version
2.1.x through 2.1.15 for PRO/100 adapters and/or driver version 4.3.x through
4.3.15 for PRO/1000 adapters.
-----------
So if you can live without those features you don't need ANS and can
use the regular kernel e1000 driver.
