There does not appear to be a driver for this card included in the distro kernel. Nor can I see a kmod package in the ELRepo third party yum repo that would help. If you can get it supported at all then I think it will be by installing the ELRepo 'kernel-ml' package and hoping that that has a driver included for it. You'll need to `yum install elrepo-release` then `yum --enablerepo=elrepo-kernel install kernel-ml` and then reboot into the new kernel by selecting it from the grub menu at boot time. If it works then you should probably enable the elrepo-kernel repo permanently so that you receive updated packages as they are released.

Either that or ask ELRepo to provide a kmod package for the driver.

I got the idea that it had already been requested as there are lots of previous forum posts for the same device. I'm guessing it was too difficult to build.
