Run lspci -nn | grep -i net and get the PCI vendor and device ids for the adapter. Take that to http://www.elrepo.org and look it up in their list of supported adapters and see if they provide a kmod driver for your adapter. If so then either install the elrepo-release package then use yum to install the correct kmod or download the kmod package directly and install it using yum from the filesystem.
The future appears to be RHEL or Debian. I think I'm going Debian.
Info for USB installs on http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/InstallFromUSBkey
CentOS 5 and 6 are deadest, do not use them.
