Sorry took me so long. If you haven't figured this out, yet, I hope this helps.
I believe CentOS is RPM based, so you'd be looking for the file bcm43xx-fwcutter-006-1.el5.kb.src.rpm or something similar. Try here

I know using the fwcutter and the file wl_apsta-3.130.20.0.o got my card working on Kubunutu.
CentOS is one of the few distros I haven't tried, so not sure what the procedure is. My guess is to run the fwcutter and got through the restricted hardware setup if it has it and point the card toward the wl_apsta file. That's how it works in Kubuntu and other distros I've tried.
I would just install CentOS and give it a try, but my card with the Broadcom chip up and died on me.
