The only solution to this issue is to replace the card. Dell did so and the server booted up fine and the new card started talking with no intervention.
I need some help with one of my Dell R720 servers. I was doing some firmware updates on my servers using iDRAC and on one of them the network firmware update failed. When I boot the system it show it is trying to bootstrap the card and then prints out: I have tried updating the firmware again through iDRAC and it says the firmware does not apply, same thing in Life Cycle Controller. I downloaded the Dell SUU and it does not find the card when it does an inventory. I have downloaded the firmware update for Linux and tried to install it under RHEL it tells me "This Update Package is not compatible with your system configuration".  Running an lspci in linux does not show the card at all. I do not know what to do to resolve this issue. If anyone knows a way to bring this card back to life I would be much appreciative of it. The card is a:
Qlogic/Broadcom 57800 Firmware update failure
