For some reason I couldn't send this response directly to you[1], so I'm
just sending to the list. I hope nobody minds:

Right, so your ethernet card appears to not even exist :) This is odd
seeing as how you said it worked fine under Redhat, didn't you? I've
never had Mandrake not detect an ethernet card like this, so I'm not
sure how much help I can be. I'll tell you what I might try and do if
this did happen to me and you can see what you think.
First, I would try the mandrake control center (drakconf), click
hardware, harddrake, and see if there is an ethernet card listed there
at all (the quick command line way is to do 'cat /proc/pci' assuming
your network card is a pci one, which it most likely is). If it's
listed then in harddrake you can highlight it and then on the right try
clicking on "run config tool" and see what happens. I doubt this will
work, if Mandrake couldn't set it up during install then it usually
can't do it here either.
Once you see in harddrake (or from 'cat /proc/pci') the exact name that
Linux thinks your ethernet card has you can search on google to see what
others experiences have been with this card and Mandrake 9.1. Search
for something like "DECchip 21041 mandrake 9.1" (put whatever your
ethernet card is named instead of the DECchip stuff). Good luck.
Of course the other thing you could try is just doing the Mandrake
install again. I've found that this is usually the quickest solution,
as installing Mandrake doesn't take very long. You don't learn
anything, but if you just want to get stuff working...
