I installed Mandrake 9.2 the other night. I have to say that it was quite easy. All in all, it was a pleasurable departure from windows. Now the headaches are starting, however. I simply cannot figure out how to get it to use my network card. Some info for you:

Mandrake 9.2
Gnome 2.4
Realtek 8210BL integrated onto a NF7-S w/ nForce2 chipset

I downloaded NVIDIA_nforce-1.0-0248.src.rpm from nvidia's website and ran (as root):

Code:

 # rpm -ivh NVIDIA_nforce-1.0-0248.src.rpm

It returned some hash marks and then said 100% installed. So I opened up the gui config tool and tried to set it up, but I can't get it to do anything. This is my first linux experience, so feel free to assume that I don't know anything.
