Yeah I looked at those files and they even have the card listed (Vendor=1516 Myson, ID=803, driver=fealnx) and to use fealnx as the driver! The problem lies elsewhere. These files just list the known PCI Vendor/ID codes which is not where my problem exists.
I can tell that I am being WAY misunderstood here. The problem is _NOT_ weather or not the card is detected (because it is) and the problem is _NOT_ that Mandrake doesn't have a driver (because it does). The problem is simply this: If you go into linuxconf or Mandrake Control Center and got to either ones network section and try to set this card up, at some point in the process you are presented with a drop down list that displays a number of "supported" cards (IE...3COM, NE2000, etc). _HERE_ is the problem! The card is missing from the list even though it is supported by Mandrake! THIS LIST IS INCOMLPETE! Now _I_ know to just type in fealnx as I was the one who got this darn driver supported by working with Jeff Garzik back in 8.0 days but a new user would not know to hand type the word "fealnx" as it is obscure and non-intuitive. They would then assume that the card is not supported! In fact you can only type it in manually in linuxconf network tab (netconf card(x) kernel module). You don't have this option in Mandrake Control Center Network Wizard as it will not let you type it in. How can I either.... A)Manually edit the drop down list provided by the above mentioned GUI Config apps. or B) Get someone who KNOWS (as I do not) how to fix this drop down list and get them to understand that the card is detected, supported, and installed in basic install yet the drop down list is incomplete and needs to have this card added!
