Do you have the kernel-devel package for your kernel installed?

yum install kernel-devel-`uname -r` kernel-headers-`uname -r`

And try the module build again, if it fails post the output of the command. You could configure a serial console and access the system that way in order to copy/paste, or perhaps install CentOS in a VM and try to compile the module there so you can get the error from the compile.

But it may be easier/better to get another NIC. Realtek doesn't have a good history of making stable NICs under linux/*bsd.
