Sound Card:  Ya, mandrake can be like that.  Has it just not recognized it 
altogether or is it just not making sound?  For example, with xmms I had to 
switch my Output Plugin to OSS from aRts

NIC:  What kind of card is it?  I have a 3Com in my desktop that has never 
been recognized by Mandrake and whenever I install, I have to set in 
manually.  Look up the specs of the card in Windows (*shiver*) and then see 
if you can find the driver.

Also, check out the Mandrake site (http://www.mandrake-linux.com/) and go to 
their hardware section.  They have a tool where you can look up to see if a 
piece of hardware can or cannot work and if it's been "approved" or if 
someone has reported that it works.
