RHEL6.1 kernel version that I am using is 2.6.32-131.4.1.el6.x86_64, it works fine with device id adapters 8086/10FB which is what your X520-DA2 adapters should be.
I misread your original message and thought you needed IGB, when in face for the X520-DA2 adapter you need the ixgbe driver. http://sourceforge.net/projects/e1000/files/ixgbe%20stable/3.3.9/ixgbe-3.3.9.tar.gz/download The X520-DA2 adapter should have been supported out of the box by RHEL6.1 please double check the adapter is correctly plugged in, and file a bug at e1000.sf.net if the driver is not loading correctly. in the bug attach your full dmesg, lspci -vvv output, dmidecode output. sorry for the thrash, was reading too fast and misread.

Please download the latest igb driver from e1000.sourceforge.net in the downloads area (click browse all files from main page) ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ All of the data generated in your IT infrastructure is seriously valuable.
