Dell likes to use funny drivers which don't always get detected properly by
the scripts which SIS (and therefore OSCAR) use for detecting hardware.
Look at the PE1955 bits of this howto and see if they help you.

Since you have identical hardware on the head and the compute nodes, I would
use the modprobe.conf on the head node to base the node one on instead of
the one for the PE1955.
