    I don't know much about mandrake or that particular card, and google
    was not much help. It did have a link to a site in which someone went
    into 16-bit mode pcmcia and it works. Also make sure that driver is for
    the right version of mandrake. Again, I am not very familiar with
    mandrake, so look online somewhere to find out how to 16-bit it.

    P.S.
    I had to cut the groups to 5 because google is being jerky.
