Based on your other post, you have a AR8132 ethernet card. To double check post the output of
Code:
/sbin/lspci -vnn
But assuming that is the case you need the atl1c driver, which is relatively new.

To get it, you must enable a 3rd party repository, the ELRepo. Instructions on their site.

Then do
Code:
su -c 'yum install kmod-atl1c'

This is for Slackware but it provides hints that can help with CentOS:

The fix requires a more recent kernel and/or installation of more recent drivers.

Ah, both aren't working. You can download the package to a USB drive and transfer it over to your CentOS machine to install

Code:
su -c 'rpm -ivh packagename.rpm'
I'm not sure if it needs any dependencies, though.

And just to throw out there, CentOS is an Enterprise oriented distro, not really designed for netbooks. If you don't have a compelling reason to use it, you might consider switching to a more netbook friendly distro. The latest Ubuntu/Fedora/etc. should have the ethernet drivers available out of the box.
