A few things you could check....

See if there have been any new releases of the 4501 filesets since ML4 was released.

Even though the cards are new check to see if there been any new firmware levels released for it.
Verify that your system board firmware is up to date.

My new 650 is logging a couple of strange errors I've never seen. When I
have the base level device drivers for the 4501 Gigabit cards I don't see
these errors, but at 5.1-004 it logs these and I can't configure the
adapters whatsoever. Anyone seen this before with the new 4501s?? I have 4
of these 4501 cards, and half the time the planar logs 3 errors like this,
and then half the time it logs 4 errors like this??

4501 filesets:
  devices.pci.14106902.diag
  devices.pci.14106902.rte 5.1.0.55 COMMITTED 10/100/1000 Base-TX PCI-X
