You mentioned that you had an Intel nic... based on an intel chip correct?
Unless I'm wrong, tulip is the driver for carsd based on a totally
different chipset. I have a feeling that the install autodetected the
wrong chipset. You want to configure for a intel chipset. You should be
able to change it using linuxconf. You might also think about upgrading
your mandrake install to at least 7, even better would be 7.2.
hope this helps..
