Dell PE800 NIC not recognized

[Vivek Khera]

I just took delivery of a Dell PE800 tower server.  I installed 
5.3-RELEASE amd64 on it, but it is not finding any ethernet device 
(there is one built into the mobo).

According to the Dell PE800 spec sheet 
(http://www.dell.com/downloads/global/products/pedge/en/800_specs.pdf) 
it is a "Single embedded Broadcom 5721 Gigabit Ethernet controller".

I've never had issues with network controllers on dells before, so I 
didn't pay any attention to this before I bought it.  Does there exist 
a driver for this thing?  For now I guess I need to just slap in an old 
fxp card I've got sitting about to get this up and running.  Any help 
would be appreciated.  Or is it a supported chip and I just have a dud?
