I'm not convinced it's a driver problem. My proxim/symphony driver has the same behavior Worked in 8.2 and the first beta of 9.0.

It looks rather more like a driver problem then (or a new
version of the network hardware, possibly :-/).
If I were you I'd try to grab the driver (eepro100.c?)
for Mandrake 8.2, compile it with 9.0 source, replace the binary
module under /lib/module with the generated object then
see what happens.
If it works, then it will point to a regression in the kernel
driver.
As it seems to exist 2 different drivers for this component,
it would be interesting to check if a different one is selected
for 9.0 then the one for 8.2.
I assume that everything worked correctly under 8.2, btw.
