I think your system requires the Broadcom TG3 adapter. I have a kernel built that I could forward to you for installation. Note that Redhat has released a patch for the kernel that fixes Broadcom lockups - so you'll want to upgrade your kernels before you go production.
Email me if you want to try my (non-patched) kernel for the initial boot to install, then you can push out the updated kernel as part of the installation.
