Newer Broadcom gigabit controllers ? not using the standard tg3 module ? If that's the case Dell support should give you both driver disks ... except if Dell doesn't support RHEL 4 on such box .... :o) Contact Dell Support to see if they have a OS install howto for RHEL 4 on your server model ...

I saw this too after extracting the modules. CentOS 4.3 is running a newer kernel than included in the driver disk. I then tried to install CentOS 4.2. The kernel version on this Release fits the kernel versions on driver disk. But -- CentOS 4.2 lacks support for the Broadcom Gigabit Controller of this machine. So I can't load the driver disk because network and USB are not available.
Now I see two options: Install CentOS 4.3 with an older kernel (which meens to rebuild the installation disk) or find a way to include both driver disks (megaraid_sas and bnx2) for CentOS 4.2.
Or install Windows Server 2003 R2 :o(
