ifenslave is nothing more than a shell script, putting some values into
/sys/class/net/bond0/bonding/slaves, no need to install the whole
package. That script is 120 lines long and 90% are error checking, help
text and licensing stuff.

Just load the bonding module and do something like

for slave in eth0 eth1
  ip link set $slave down
  echo "+$slave" > /sys/class/net/bond0/bonding/slaves
done
ip link set bond0 up

(Effectivley lines 92, 107, 108 and 118 of ifenslave.)

Sven.
