Yeap, and here is the RedHat release notes that state that:

tg3: updated to version 3.86. This update enables support for BroadCom 5761 and 5784 devices.

lspci cannot resolve driver issues, it reads the device IDs on the bus and then reports what it finds.

As far as I can remember, Broadcom 5761 support was updated in RHEL 5.2 and your kernel is older than that. Have a look here:

http://oss.oracle.com/el5/docs/RELEASE-NOTES-U2-en.html#Kernel_and_Driver_Updates

I think the earliest kernel you should be running is at least kernel-2.6.18-92.x

BTW, it is possible to compile from sources and have the drivers on your current kernel included, but if you can RHN update the machine, that would be better.
