CentOS 6.0 only shows loopback address with ifconfig

Question

I am trying to figure out whether a performance problem we are having with one of our processes is OS related. I installed CentOS 6.0 on a server which previously had CentOS 6.5 installed. Now when I do ifconfig -a it only shows the loopback address. There are two network cards on the server. And they did show up in the previous version. Any ideas?

EDIT: Adding dmesg and lspci outputs:

dmesg

The necessary driver tg3 doesn't appear to have been present in RHEL/CentOS 6.0. The first release in which it documented as present is 6.1. And the current 6.x version at the time of your post was 6.5. Update your system.

This is most certainly a driver problem. Is seems centos 6.0's kernel isn't shipped with your card's drivers.

The command lsmod will list you the currently loaded kernel modules among which are the loaded hardware drivers.

Download from here : http://www.broadcom.com/support/license.php?file=NXII/linux-7.6.62.zip and install from USB key if you can.
