Two suggestions:
1. Try ne2000 for your nic driver
or
2. Copy the kernel off the disk onto your small DOS partition and use LoadLin

The real issue is that the floppy/cdrom bay is in NO way hot swappable.
So, I was trying to use a ftp install, but the NIC isn't in the pcmcia
support
The CDROM/Floppy doesn't have to be hot swapable. Just boot from and
install from the CD, no need for the Floppy. You may need to change a
setting in your BIOS to enable CDROM booting.

One more thing...if the laptop is NOT Pentium class...Mandrake may not even
install or the performance will be dismal. MDK 6.0 and up is optimized for
Pentium.
