Well, only a suggestion.  You may want to dual boot with Fedora 11
--being bleeding edge,it may recognize appropriately (and provide
support for) your wireless card.  Subsequently you may use the
relevant configuration on your CentOS distro (just make sure *not* to
format Fedora 11 partition with ext4 so that you may mount it under
CentOS for analysis).

I have found that Debian and Ubuntu have also very good wireless
support. However, needless to say, Fedora 11 will likely be closer in
file/resource structure to CentOS.
