This ebuild allows the e100 and e1000 intel nics to perform Adaptive Load Balancing and Adaptive Fault Tolerance. Also I am not 100% sure this package can be distributed under the current intel license. I have attached the license under the Additional information section for futher review.

Created attachment 8216 [details] This is the iANS (ians) folder I made including the Changelog and Digest MD5 file. Brett
Created attachment 8217 [details] Same as the previous file except I changed KEYWORDS="x86" to KEYWORDS="~x86".
Created attachment 8279 [details] This is the ebuild for the Intel iANS package.
Created attachment 8381 [details] Added || die to the make command.
Created attachment 12553 [details] iANS-2.0.60.ebuild Version bump.
Created attachment 12699 [details] iANS-2.3.35.ebuild This version now support e100 2.2.x and e1000 5.0.x drivers. The 2.0.x version of iANS only supported e100 2.1.x and e1000 4.6.x drivers. I have also experienced intermitant problems with the iANS 2.0.x versions so 2.3.x may not be stable either.
Created attachment 12704 [details] iANS-2.3.35-r1.ebuild Removed 2.0.12 ebuild header info from the top of the ebuild.
Created attachment 12759 [details] iANS-2.3.35-r2.ebuild This ebuild now includes enough config files to get two e100 nics runnings with minimal work. /etc/ians.cfg - An example config for two e100 intel nics. /etc/init.d/ians.boot - Runs ianscfg -r after modules so that vadapt1 is setup. /etc/init.d/net.vadapt1 - vadapt one is set in the ians.cfg.
Created attachment 12760 [details] ians.cfg Example config file used by the ebuild.
Created attachment 12761 [details] ians.boot Boot level startup script.
Created attachment 12762 [details] Intel license. Intel license for the iANS software.
Created attachment 12795 [details] iANS-2.3.35-r3.ebuild Corrected typos. Listed ians.cfg instead of ians.conf and /etc/ianscfg instead of /etc/ians.
I have a lot of other stuff on my plate. Would anyone else be interested in this bug? Basically, one needs to review the distribution license and commit this stuff. [Punting back to bug-wranglers.]
I have a Intel Corp. 82557/8/9 [Ethernet Pro 100] (rev 8) in one of my machines. So I can test this ebuild. Luckily I have a need for load balancing on this machine :) And a cluster is also in production. First, your ebuild needs some correction. In pkg_setup make sure that you have a return 0 instead of exit 0. Then we have only ebuilds with lowercase letters (some old have uppercase letters, yes, but we only accept lowercase since some time). This needs some further corrections.
Created attachment 16631 [details] ians-2.3.42.ebuild Lower cased the ebuild and bumped the version. The reason why I had the ebuild in upper case was because when the source extracts it iANS instead of ians. I have hardcoded the version number into the ebuild.
Created attachment 16632 [details] ians-2.3.42.ebuild Changed exit 0 to return 0.
I think, I should close this bug as WONTFIX. The license seems to be not appliable to distribute the software with Gentoo. Furthermore I don't want to add ebuilds to portage, if they are used really barely. Nevertheless, thanks for your work on it. Maybe somebody could need the ebuild attached to this bug-report.
