I believe that there's actually a bit of a problem with Mandrake 7/7.1
and the 3c509 driver. A few people on the Mandrake-Expert mailing list
have reported problems with it - have a look at
<http://www.mail-archive.com/cgi-bin/htsearch?method=and&format=short&config=expert_linux-mandrake_com&restrict=&exclude=&words=3c509>
for some details. This bug report
<http://www.linux-mandrake.com/bugs/db/67/674-b.html#m1> also has some
details and a possible fix. I think also that the 'B' means this is a
P'n'P card you've got. Don't know if that might be causing problems.
HTH.
