I have the same card, and never had to download any drivers. The
source is already in the kernel source tree, so you can just configure
a kernel with the via-rhine drivers, and build it. If you don't feel
like building a kernel, mandrake's stock bootkernels come with the
module as well; just load the via-rhine module with modprobe. If it
doesn't give you any problems, set it up with netconf, under "Adaptor
1" (or 2, 3 or 4, if it isn't the first NIC in your box). Just choose
"eth0" (or 1, 2, ...) as Net Device, and "via-rhine" as Kernel
Module. This should do the trick.

Good luck.
