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.
