That would be the latest regular CentOS 6.2 kernel:
# uname -mri
2.6.32-220.7.1.el6.i686 i686 i386

lsusb didn't provide any nontrivial output (it reported all USB ports as
empty). There was something nontrivial going on in /var/log/messages about
kernel not being able to recognize the device or something, but I cannot
remember it now.
But Ned Slider suggested the kmod-compat-wireless package from elrepo-testing,
and after that both /var/log/messages and lsusb reported the proper device
(see my response to Ned for details). And it appears to be working fine (so
far, I am yet to try to connect with it...).

Of course, it is always much better if there are native drivers available. And
I'll settle even for the kmod-compat-wireless if it works. The ndiswrapper
solution was the last resort, but in the end it seems I won't need it, which
is great! :-)
Anyway, thanks for help!
Best, :-)
