And what exactly is your problem?
Linux drivers are officially available by [url=http://www.broadcom.com/support/ethernet_nic/netxtreme_desktop.php]Broadcom.[/url]
And [url=http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/marvell-88w8335-chipset-netgear-wg311-pcicard-driver/]here[/url] is an idea about how to install the wireless driver.
It's for debian based systems but I think you can adapt it to work on CentOS.

better is to install drivers from elrepo.org
http://elrepo.org/tiki/tiki-index.php
The FAQ has instructions for identifying the correct driver.

also if you run lspci -vnn|grep -i ether
this will give you the XXXX:YYYY id
Essentially, you should have the above module loaded. If you go to http://elrepo.org/tiki/DeviceIDs and do a ctrl-F for find and search for XXXX:YYYY you should find your module. the of the module will appear as .ko on the page. You can use XXXX:YYYYas a lookup key for .
this will tell you exactly which module you should have loaded.
do lsmod |grep to see if the module is loaded. If it is not, try loading with modprobe . If it is missing, install the package for that module from elrepo. This should get you up.

there doesn't appear to be a readily available linux driver for that device. You can probably get it working with some to a lot of effort. The best I can suggest is getting a device with more support or [url=http://www.google.com/search?q=11ab%3A1faa]googleing[/url] that device id

Dear All,
I really appreciate your help and time, Crunch you are right, the driver for this wireless LAN card is not readily available so I changed the wireless LAN Card and plugged in D-Link DWL-G520 and I was amazed that when I started the computer Centos 6.2 it automatically deducted this Card and I had to do nothing.

Yes, that difficulty doesn't happen too often. You might look at the hw compat list next time you're looking for hardware. http://wiki.centos.org/AdditionalResources/HardwareList . It isn't comprehensive but a good start. The upstream compat list is also relevant. https://hardware.redhat.com/ .
Also, please do, if you feel so, mark the post resolved as Phil asks.
Anyway, I hope it goes well.
