Is it an ISA plug and play card? If so, you need to run the isapnp tools to configure your card.
Read the docs, it is pretty easy. You just do a pnpdump to create the config file, Then edit it to match your configuration. With Mandrake 8, the isapnp utilility is probably already in your init config, it's probably just not doing anything because there is no config file.
