Hi Chris,

This bug (678429) should be fixed with kernel 2.6.32-131.0.15. (see: 
http://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2011-0542.html) Kernel 2.6.32-134.el6 
is not publicly available.

Do you have kernel-firmware installed? rpm -qi kernel-firmware

If the problem still exists please reply to 
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=678429

Best regards,

Morten
