NIC in R410

[Charles_Rose at Dell.com]

Drew/All,
R710 uses the Broadcom 5709 chip for the LOMs while the R410 uses the
5716 chip for the LOMs. RHEL 5.2 has native support for the 5709 but not
5716.

RHEL 5.3 (bnx2 verion 1.7.9-1) and later have native support for the
5716 as well and should work fine.
