You can find if ELRepo has the driver for you by going to FAQ #4 at:

http://elrepo.org/tiki/FAQ

Run the command (one line):

for BUSID in $(/sbin/lspci | awk '{ IGNORECASE=1 } /net/ { print $1
}'); do /sbin/lspci -s $BUSID -m; /sbin/lspci -s $BUSID -n; done

to get the the Vendor:Device ID parings. Then look through:

http://elrepo.org/tiki/DeviceIDs

To see if yours is there.

Hope this helps.
