Summary: SIS chooses driver differently than OS

Initial Comment:
So I don't know how SIS chooses which driver to use for 
detected hardware, or even how it detects it.
Here's a real world problem though:
Redhat 7.3 installs on head node and detects a 
Broadcom GigE adapter, and loads a tg3 driver.
SIS installs clients on exactly the same hardware, but 
uses the bcm5700 driver instead of the tg3.
Both drivers work initially and things seem fine.  It turns 
out that the bcm5700 driver has issues which freeze 
these machines though.  
Directly, this is of course a problem with a driver.

Indirectly, maybe RH chose the tg3 driver for a reason, 
doesn't matter.  The questions are:

How does RH select a driver?
How does SIS select a driver?

They should be conisistent, no?
