PCbob is right - kudzu works very well assuming you have it installed and
selected as a start-up service. also - check out the possibilities of
hardrake in drakconf.
once you have your card recocnized, try dhcpcd -h (your cr50**hostname here)
. you _should_ grab an IP.
my l4me hack to get this to go every time was just to put eth0 as enabled
and manual, enter a junk IP, and insert the above dhcpcd line into
rc.local - the ifup script in mandrake 7+ is a little beyond me =).
