Dooggie, sorry. That's beyond me. However, your kernel is 2.4.19 and maybe a newer one may help. Only idea I can come up with is to install kernel 2.4.21. - On the other hand, your network card seems to be commonplace, so it's very strange that Mandrake chokes on it. - Of course, the "brain-dead" solution is to replace the ethernet card with some well known card, such as a RealTech, but wait a little : I'm quite confident that somebody on this list has the key to your problem.
