I just checked the device ID pair [0df6:0072] against the current
CentOS-6 kernel but it returned nothing. However, I did find the
driver in ELRepo's kernel-ml:

alias usb:v0DF6p0072d*dc*dsc*dp*ic*isc*ip*in* ax88179_178a

It shows that the driver that supports your device is ax88179_178a . I
suggest you try installing kernel-ml [1] and see if your NIC works. If
that works well, you'd want to ask ELRepo if backporting the driver
for EL-6 is possible.
