Yes this is what I wanted to verify. The tg3 driver is in the pxeboot
initrd.img .
Do you have any other debugging info?

I saw this F13 bug report which may provide some info:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=602155
"tg3 is the correct NIC driver. broadcom.ko is the driver for the PHY. The
tg3 driver requires the broadcom driver and should automatically load it"
An earlier email from Orion Poplawksi noted that the broadcom.ko driver was
not present in the initrd.img
I also tried booting with RHEL6 X86 Network Install and Recovery Disc, and
had the same problem.
I suggest that you put in a bugzilla entry for RHEL 6 on this issue.
The installer offers me a chance to load a driver from a list (or floppy/dvd
- making a disk image looks like a whole world of pain). Selecting tg3
doesn't work.
