It seems like Linux Mandrake 7.1 recongnizes the card, but hardrake 0.5.3 hasn't listed any "Network Device Card".

Any suggestions?

Use pnpdump to get all the info on your ISA PNP cards. The documentation for isapnptools tells you how to run the output through grep to clean it up for use as an isapnp.conf file. You replace the commands in the new .conf file with PEEK commands, run isapnp, and you will find the correct parameters for isapnp to use on startup. The documentation spell all of this out clearly. Hope this doesn't sound like RTFM, but I don't remember all the details.
