I guess these contain the binary modules from AVM (proprietary). For "plain" 
internet access you should be fine with hisax driver integrated in the CentOS 
kernel. The proprietary drivers may get you into trouble - I experienced kernel 
hangs/panics, filesystem corruption and other nasty stuff when using them on 
CentOS 4 two years ago.

I think it depends on how you configure the connection (default should be single 
line). But CentOS is very similar to any other distro using hisax so you might 
get more documentation on this topic with Google.
