Well, it seems that your card is detected and properly "setup" in hardware,
so what you are experiencing is a software problem, probably due to a
mistake during initial setup...

Good. Did you set up your sound card first and reboot?
Now a point of frequent confusion.
Mandrake uses Linuxconf versus Redhat's older Netcfg. (or the text based
netconfig).
If you set things up using the latter, sometimes you'll run into some
problems as Linuxconf uses a slightly different mechanism to activate
network devices.
Your best bet is to go into X windows (assuming you can get it running) and
run netcfg from a term. Then DELETE your existing eth0 interface.
Then run Linuxconf and delete and add back your eth0 interface
configuration... under basic host information.
Once done, exit Linuxconf, and run netcfg again.
You should have an interface(s) labeled like this... (substituting your IP's
where applicable for eth0)
Interface IP proto atboot active
lo 127.0.0.1 none yes active
eth0 10.0.0.1 none yes active
Also be sure that you have a loopback installed as indicated above.
Also under Routing TURN ON "Network Packet Forwarding" even though
everything else is blank.
Given you are a newbie, reboot.
Finally type ifconfig
eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:10:5A:04:36:65
