I am running @home and a smc1211tx card and everything is well.Try setting the
irq too 10 9 doesn't give high enough priority.I am also running mandrake 7.1.
Another thing that works is setting irq too 10 and use dhcp.Downside is that
you will have too either be a root, or have superuser priveledges and type
dhcpcd -I (client id=C*****-A) from a term but it works fine. Hope it helps
