This is because you have the kmod-bnx2 package which contains a newerI just kickstarted a new machine with the latest CentOS 6.2 files,

redhat built for a few new NICs as part of their DUP (Driver Update Program):

Afaict, they say not to use it for other NICs. In your case a non listed NIC
broke because that package lacked some firmware.
That is, the problem is crystal clear, bug in the kmod-bnx2 package (but it
could be claimed to be a documented limitation...).
This machine is using the normal bnx2 driver (2.1.11) for which there is a
complete set of firmwares (provided by the kernel-firmware package).
Spot on - the working machine did not have kmod-bnx2 installed.
If you don't need the 2.2.1 driver I suggest you remove the kmod-bnx2
package from the first machine and fall back to the driver in the normal
kernel package.
Installing without kmod-bnx2 worked, and I also had to get rid ofcomplete set of firmwares (provided by the kernel-firmware package).
