You'll have to use the 2.4.22 kernel, which has an experimental driver for this device. Should work ok, though. See http://www.linux-usb.org/devices.html. It may be possible to compile the driver for the mandrake stock kernel. I recommend either the Belkin usb/ethernet adapter or the Linksys one. Both use the pegasus chipset and are well-supported under Linux. You can get the belkin one for about 25 dollars.
