Here is where you learn something great about Linux. -
Virtually every driver for almost all the available hardware is already on your system and will be installed automatically. And No you do not need to reboot all the time either.
Just go through the networking wizard in Mandrake Control Centre>Networking, and most likely your Ethernet will be working afterwards. The panel in the Networking GUI will tell you which driver it is using. Same goes for all the other hardware you have.
If you get problems come back to us.
