I suggest you use one of the support venues (mailing list or forums) to obtain help for the problem like this.

That said, what is the output returned by:

lspci -nn | grep -i net

[Krishna@localhost ~]$ lspci -nn|grep -i net

Using the vendor|device ID pair, I find:

$ cat /lib/modules/`uname -r`/modules.alias | grep -i 14e4 | grep 4315
alias pci:v000014E4d00004315sv*sd*bc*sc*i* ssb

that the ssb driver in the kernel handles your wireless device. Your hope will be to find a newer version of this driver and see if that improves the situation.

This is really getting beyond the scope of the bug tracker. I strongly suggest you head for ELRepo that specializes in hardware support for EL:
