If this NIC is built onto the motherboard, would it not be easier just to find an (PCI?) expansion slot NIC that is known to work out of the box on Centos 5.5 and use that instead?
Yes, that is what I'm doing for testing and working on the system, but given the board is mini-ITZ with a single PCI slot which will be filled later with a different card, this isn't much of a solution. :)
