hm.. well AFAIK Firewire is supported well. Checked out the Mandrake Docs site yet? http://www.mandrakeuser.org/docs/index.html
Might be something there? If that fails, You can search the list archives. I haven't so I can't say if you'll find much yet. I know the NTFS partition will probably have to be wiped & made into an ext2/reiser/XFS or something linux compatible partition. Hell even FAT32 *aptly named, its Fat & is a size 32*, would work. First place I'd start is the "Linux for laptops" website. Google for linux lists it: http://www.google.com/linux Then look for drivers for your card there or perhaps on Mandrakes site itself, it has a "Hardware approved" Section & ample newbie how-to's.
