Ok, I got it fixed. Just thought I'd post my solution in case it might help someone else in the future.
* Mandrake 9.2 Download Edition does not include the kernel sources on the CDs. It is necessary to download and install them seperately. For me, I needed kernel-source-2.4.22-10mdk-i586.rpm. A quick rpm -ivh kernel-source...... installed them perfectly.
* Next I needed the aforementioned nforce driver source package. After downloading it from nVidia, I had to build it into an rpm with rpm --rebuild NVIDIA......
* Finally, I installed the resulting package in /usr/src/RMP/RPMS/i586
After that was done, the Mandrake hardware wizard recognized my NIC and I was able to configure it. It is now working just fine.
