FYI I found an outstanding redhat bug on this issue, however, shortly 
after commenting on the bug, it was made private by redhat and the bug 
report is no longer viewable.

The bug still exists in RHEL 6.1 beta, but I have resolved the issue 
with a local workaround to fix PXE installs on systems with Broadcom 57780

Unpack the initrd.img, copy the broadcom.ko file from a working SL60 
install , and update the module dependency files (with depmod), and 
repackage the initrd.img and replace on the PXE server.

regards
