This driver is already on your Mandrake 8.1 installation.
Look in /lib/modules/2.4.8-xx.mdk/pcmcia
and /lib/modules/2.4.80xx.mdk/kernel/drivers/net/8380.o.gz
You do not need to compile anything.
Are you sure it is not already being autodetected? Mandrake is quite good at
installing these things at boot time.
Type dmesg in a terminal to see the boot sequence messages. Look for messages
about pcmcia.
Also look in Mandrake Control Centre > Hardware >Hardware> Network Device
Cards
