There is still an issue with the Centos OS not having an adequate driver for your network card. This happens frequently when the hardware or chipsets are new and the distro has not caught up yet.
You should be able to search the centos forums for your hardware and centos 5.2 and see if there is a workaround. Other workarounds would be to install the latest version of centos as a base install (like 5.4) if it supports your network card, then add the sipx repo and install sipx that way Caution: Doing this may require some tweaking and some would warn against doing so. Plainer hardware usually generates no issues, but extra small hardware or extra management capabilities make this problematic at time (especially with the new Intel management stuff).
