Brandon, try this:

/sbin/e-smith/db configuration set EthernetDriver1 e100
/sbin/e-smith/signal-event console-save

I had the same problem.  I figured out what was happening and posted on devinfo.  Charlie provided the command line fix which sets the e-smith configuration to use the module e100 module for the on-board nic.  The default RedHat settings wants to use the module eepro100 which is incorrect for newer motherboards with onboard Intel nics.  The modules are found at /lib/modules/2.2.16-22/net/.
