You did not mention which rhel version you are using but interfaces on dells
in rhel 6.1 will show up as em1, em2, etc. by default instead of eth0, eth1.
Both dell and redhat mention it in their docs.

 

Pretty soon I'm going to have to start updating the software I develop and
maintain for RHEL 6.  Apparently, I'm going to have to rewrite the entire
set of perfectly-working network code because many (but not all) of my
customers use Dells.  What's the best place to keep up with changes like
this - to learn not just what they are, but the reasons for them and the
lists of exactly what hardware combinations produce which responses in the
OS?
