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.

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.
