Had the same problem with Mandrake 9.0. My only solution was to reinstall the system and ONLY set up the modem during the install. Leave the network card till afterwards. This should solve the problem. I think it has something to do with the nsswitch.conf file, but I'm not sure. netstat -nr will print out the kernel routing table and may give you a clue to the problem.
