lspci cannot resolve driver issues, it reads the device IDs on the

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.
